When you deploy base image, you have to choose the role of each appliance: manager, accessor, slicestor

Once installed you have to configure the network

LACP is supported but not VLAN tagging

my-cos-s03# port list
PORT      ADDRESS           MAX SPEED  STATUS
em1       38:68:xx:xx:XX:XX 10000 Mbps up, 10000 Mbps, full-duplex
em2       38:68:xx:xx:XX:XX 10000 Mbps up, 10000 Mbps, full-duplex

First configure the manager (use FQN)

manager# edit
manager (working)# channel data port eth0
manager (working)# channel data ip 10.10.10.10
manager (working)# channel data netmask 255.255.255.0
manager (working)# channel data gateway 10.10.10.1
manager (working)# system hostname my-cos-m01.mydom.com
manager (working)# system ntpservers 10.10.10.123
manager (working)# system dns 10.10.10.124
manager (working)# system organization IBM orgunit sales city Chicago state Illinois country US
manager (working)# activate

Now you are ready to connect using a web browser https://10.10.10.10/

For info:

Set the Company Name to which the node belongs.
  # system organization {IBM}
Set the Department or Organizational Name to which the node belongs.
  # system orgunit {Popconfig}
Set the City in which the node is located.
  # system city {Chicago}
Set the State or Province in which the node is located.
  # system state {Illinois}
Set the two letter (ISO Country code) for the Country in which the node is located.
  # system country {US}

Then configure the accessors and slicestors (without NTP, and specify manager)

slicestor# edit
slicestor (working)# channel data port eth0
slicestor (working)# channel data ip 10.10.10.11
slicestor (working)# channel data netmask 255.255.255.0
slicestor (working)# channel data gateway 10.10.10.1
slicestor (working)# system hostname my-cos-s01.mydom.com
slicestor (working)# system dns 10.10.10.124
slicestor (working)# system organization IBM orgunit sales city Chicago state Illinois country US
slicestor (working)# activate

Once IP is set, configure connection to manager

slicestor# edit
slicestor (working)#  manager ip 10.10.10.10
Automatically accept the manager certificate when it is available? [y/N]: y
slicestor (working)# activate
