PowerVault Kick-Start Utility
The Dell PowerVault Kick-Start utility is software shipped with your system. This utility
is used to define the initial network configuration of a system, which makes the sys-
tem available on the network for complete configuration using the PowerVault NAS
Manager. This utility is intended for customers who have multiple systems to config-
urebutarenotusingDHCP.
When a PowerVault 735N system is initially powered on, the PowerVault Kick-Start
utility runs to determine whether the system has been configured. If the system is
configured and an IP address has been assigned to the onboard network adapter,
PowerVault Kick-Start disables itself and will not run again on subsequent reboots. If
the system is not configured and the user inserts a PowerVault Kick-Start diskette,
when the system boots, the system automatically reads and applies the configuration
information found on the diskette.
NOTES: The onboard network adapter must be connected to the network before you
use the PowerVault Kick-Start utility.
If you boot your system without a PowerVault Kick-Start diskette and you are con-
nected to the network, PowerVault Kick-Start will disable itself and will not run again
unless you reinstall the operating system.
PowerVault Kick-Start configuration is a three-part procedure:
• Create a PowerVault Kick-Start diskette
• Create configuration files on the PowerVault Kick-Start diskette
