Overview

This article outlines the procedure for setting up network access to the Delphix Engine. Follow the instructions in Install the Delphix engine before you begin this procedure.

Procedure

  1. Power on the Delphix Engine and open the Console.

  2. Wait for the Delphix Management Service and Delphix Boot Service to come online. This might take up to 10 minutes during the first boot. Wait for the large orange box to turn green.

  3. Press any key to access the sysadmin console.

  4. Enter sysadmin for the username and the password.

  5. A description of available network settings and instructions for editing appears:

    Delphix Engine Network Setup
 
To access the system setup through the browser, the system must first be configured for networking in your
environment. From here, you can configure the primary interface, DNS, hostname, and default route. When DHCP is
configured, all other properties are derived from DHCP settings.
 
To see the current settings, run "get." To change a property, run "set <property>=<value>." To commit your changes,
run "commit." To exit this setup and return to the standard CLI, run "discard." 
    defaultRoute    IP address of the gateway for the default route -- for example, "1.2.3.4." 
    dhcp            Boolean value indicating whether DHCP should be used for the primary interface. Setting this value
                    to "true" will cause all other properties (address, hostname, and DNS) to be derived from the DHCP
                    response
 
    dnsDomain       DNS Domain -- for example, "delphix.com" 
    dnsServers      DNS server(s) as a list of IP addresses -- for example, "1.2.3.4,5.6.7.8." 
    hostname        Canonical system hostname, used in alert and other logs -- for example, "myserver" 
    primaryAddress  Static address for the primary interface in CIDR notation -- for example, "1.2.3.4/22" 
Current settings:
 
    defaultRoute: 192.168.1.1
    dhcp: false
    dnsDomain: example.com
    dnsServers: 192.168.1.1
    hostname: Delphix
    primaryAddress: 192.168.1.100/24

  6. Configure the hostname. Use the same hostname you entered during the server installation. If you use DHCP, you can skip this step.

    delphix network setup update *> set hostname=<hostname>

  7. Configure DNS. If you use DHCP, you can skip this step.

    delphix network setup update *> set dnsDomain=<domain>
delphix network setup update *> set dnsServers=<server1-ip>[,<server2-ip>,...]

  8. Configure either a static or DHCP address:

    DHCP configuration

    delphix network setup update *> set dhcp=true

    Static configuration

    The static IP address must be in CIDR notation (for example, 192.168.1.2/24). 

    delphix network setup update *> set dhcp=false
delphix network setup update *> set primaryAddress=<address>/<prefix-len>

  9. Configure a default gateway. If you use DHCP, you can skip this step.

    delphix network setup update *> set defaultRoute=<gateway-ip>

  10. Commit the changes. Use the get command before you commit to verify your desired configuration.

    delphix network setup update *> commit
Successfully committed network settings. Further setup can be done through the browser at:
 
        http://<address> 
Type 'exit' to disconnect, or any other commands to continue using the CLI.

  11. Make sure you can access the Delphix Engine through a Web browser by navigating to the displayed IP address, or hostname if you use DNS.

  12. Exit setup.

    delphix> exit
