Setting Up The DX Object Storage Platform
Installing The Initial Cluster Or Redundant Cluster Services Node
The Dell DX Object Storage Platform consists of at least one DX Cluster Services Node and three (or more) DX Storage
Nodes.
CAUTION: Installation of the initial cluster or additional Cluster Services Nodes requires deployment services from
Dell.
For information about setting up the hardware, see the documentation for the DX models at dell.com/support/manuals.
Configuring The DX Object Storage Platform
Dell DX Object Storage Platform includes a Cluster Services Node to enable a centralized management interface for the
DX Cluster. Default settings are defined and recommended for system operation. However, there are a number of
options which may be used to configure the storage platform. These include:
•
Reset administrator password for the DX Cluster Services console
•
Default object replication parameters
•
Port number for management console and other services
•
IP parameters
•
Logging options
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) options
•
Setting persistent cluster settings
•
Storing configuration files
For more information about these options, see the
dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: Use the Cluster Services Console for normal management and configuration. Only experienced
administrators must use the configuration files for advanced configurations, described in the
Advanced Administration Guide and the DX Object Storage Content Router Setup and Configuration Guide . Contact
your account team for professional services consulting on advanced configurations.
DX Content Router services are not automatically configured. To enable replication to remote clusters, publisher, and
subscriber services, DX Content Router services must be configured through the DX Cluster Services console. For
information about configuring DX Content Router services, see the
at dell.com/support/manuals.
