The Dell™ PowerVault™ NAS Manager is a Web-based user interface that is the primary tool for configuring NAS systems.
This section provides basic information on using the NAS Manager, including how to log on and navigate the interface,
configuring network properties and IP addresses, creating users, using shares and disk quotas, and managing disks and
volumes.
Logging in to the NAS Manager
To use the NAS Manager, you must be logged in as an administrator. You can log in only if the NAS system is on the network
or if you are connected directly to the NAS system with a serial cable.
To log in to the NAS Manager, perform the following steps:
1. Open a Web browser from a client system.
The NAS Manager supports clients running Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or later (or Netscape Navigator 6.2.2 or
later for Red Hat Linux).
2. Type in the name of the NAS system in the Web address field, and then press <Enter>.
The default system name is Dellxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the system's service tag number. For example, if your
service tag number is 1234567, enter http://DELL1234567.
The NAS Manager is served on port 1279 and is accessed using the following Web address: https://systemname:1279
or https://system_ipaddress:1279, where systemname is Dellxxxxxxx (xxxxxxx is the system's service tag number).
For example, if your service tag number is 1234567, you would enter https://DELL1234567:1279. Port 1279 uses
secure socket layer (SSL) to encrypt data going to and coming from the NAS system to provide data security.
NOTICE: Although port 1278 can be used, it uses plain text authentication, which can be a significant security risk.
Therefore, using port 1278 is not recommended.
