EF & E-Series, SANtricity, and Related Plug-ins
We've got a new E-series storage unit, a 5760 specifically, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to connect to it the first time to get in to configuration. It looks like it expects DHCP to kick in, but we don't have DHCP available on our server network. How do I get into it to set a static IP?
Solved! See The Solution
You will need to physically connect to the controller ethernet port and use the default IP assigned to the port when DHCP is not available.
See the following documentation page for detailed steps: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/e-series/install-hw-e2800-e5700/e2860-e5760-complete-setup-task.html#option-2-static-ip-address

Thanks, I will give that a shot. I don't know how I missed that page in the documentation.
Locate the Serial Port:
The E-Series controllers have a serial port (often RJ-45 or mini-USB). Check the documentation or the back of the unit for the correct port.
Connect to the Serial Port:
Open a Terminal Emulator:
Log In to the Controller:
Set the Static IP:
