Preparation
Site Selection
Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information booklet before
you begin.
The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the appliance:
•Before you begin, review the safety instructions located at http://www.arista.com/support/product-documentation.
• Begin installing the rails in the allotted space that is closest to the bottom of the rack enclosure.
•Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and
foreign objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify these guidelines are met:
• Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.
• All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.
• Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.
Note: Important! All power connections must be removed to de-energize the unit.
Note: Important! This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Observe these guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the appliance.
• Assemble or disassemble equipment only in a static-free work area.
• Use a conductive work surface (such as an anti-static mat) to dissipate static charge.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
• Use tools that do not create ESD.

CloudVision Physical Appliance Setup
You may need the following items to perform the procedures in this section:
• Key to the system key-lock.
• #1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver.
• Wrist grounding strap connected to ground.
• Rack mount kit instructions located in the shipping box.
Front Bezel
Removing the front bezel
1. Unlock the key-lock at the left end of the bezel. (2)
2. Lift the release latch next to the keylock. (3)
3. Rotate the left end of the bezel away from the front panel. (4)

Locate the MAC Addresses for the CloudVision Appliance
The information tag is a slide-out label which contains system information such as Service Tag, NIC, MAC
address for your reference.
Figure 2: MAC Address Location
Back Panel Ethernet Connections
On the back panel of the CloudVision appliance, locate the Ethernet Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps NIC connectors.

Preparation

Figure 4: Management Subnet
iDRAC is an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that provides a GUI-based out-of-band
interface for monitoring the hardware appliance. iDRAC uses NIC1 for its network connectivity using a
unique MAC address.
Note: iDRAC may also be refereed to as Lifecycle Controller.
DNS Entries
In order to manage your CloudVision cluster, it is often easier to connect to them by hostname as opposed to IP
address. Fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) should be allocated to:
• Each of the CloudVision Appliance host machines.
• Each of the CloudVision Appliance iDRAC interfaces.
• Each of the CloudVision Portal (CVP) nodes.
• Each of the CloudVision Server (CVX) nodes.
Contact your DNS zone administrator for assistance.
CloudVision Appliance IP Configuration
The CloudVision Appliance Host and iDRAC IP addresses can be allocated in either of two ways:
Option 1: Using an available DHCP server
•DHCP Based IP Address Setup.
•Web Access into Host via WOK.
Option 2: Manual configuration (Requires terminal connected toVGA port)
DCA-100-CV Quick Start Guide

•Manual IP Address Setup.
•Web Access into Host via WOK.
DHCP Based IP Address Setup
Note:
The iDRAC interface shares the NIC1 physical interface but has a different MAC address.You will need
to take note of this MAC address to map the DHCP address for the iDRAC interface.
Manual IP Address Setup
Note:
Direct IPAddress Setup requires a terminal connected to the VGA port of the appliance. This section can
be skipped if the Host and iDRAC IP addresses have been configured with a DHCP server.
See the Back Panel Features and Indicators for complete back panel descriptions.
IPMI IP Address
The IPMI IP address can be manually configured via the host's bash shell using the racadm tool. The racadm
commands below are sequence dependent and must be entered in the following order.
1. Using the attached terminal and keyboard, log in as user using “root” with the default password of “arista”.
You should now be logged into the appliance.
2. Disable all IPMI related DHCP configurations.
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DHCPEnable 0
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNSFromDHCP 0
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DNSDomainFromDHCP 0
3. Configure the IP network settings for the IPMI interface.
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.Enable 1
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.Address <iDRAC-IP>
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.Netmask <iDRAC-MASK>
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.Gateway <iDRAC-GW>
4. Configure the DNS settings for the IPMI interface.
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNS1 <iDRAC-DNS1>
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNS2 <iDRAC-DNS2>
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DNSRacName <iDRAC-NAME>
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DNSDomainName <iDRAC-DOMAIN.NAME>
5. Verify the configuration by running:
racadm getSysInfo
Host IP Address
The host IP address can be manually configured via the host's bash shell. In order for the settings to be persistent,
the following configuration must be done.

Preparation

1. Configure network settings by editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-devicebr file.
DEVICE=devicebr
NAME=devicebr
TYPE=Bridge
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=<ip address here>
NETMASK=<subnet mask here>
GATEWAY=<gateway ip address here>
DELAY=0
USERCTL=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
2. Configure DNS settings by editing the /etc/resolv.conf file.
nameserver <dnsServerIP-1>
nameserver <dnsServerIP-2>
search <domain1> <domain2> …
3. Restart the networking service for the changes to take effect.
service network restart
