Account manager —You created a Lyve Management Portal username and password when you set up your Lyve account atlyve.seagate.com.

Product admin or product user —You were identified as a product user for a project created in the Lyve Management Portal. An email was sent to you from the Lyve team that included a link for resetting your password.

Download Lyve Client

To unlock and access Lyve devices connected to your computer, you must enter your username and password in the Lyve Client app. You can also use it to manage Lyve projects and data operations. Install Lyve Client on any computer intended to connect to Lyve Mobile Array. Download the Lyve Client installer for Windows® or macOS® at www.seagate.com/support/lyve- client.

Authorize host computers

An internet connection is required when authorizing a host computer.

1. Open Lyve Client on a computer intended to host Lyve Mobile Array.
2. When prompted, enter your Lyve Management Portal username and password.

Lyve Client authorizes the host computer to unlock and access Lyve devices and manage projects on the Lyve Management Portal.

The host computer remains authorized for up to 30 days, during which you can unlock and access connected devices even without an internet connection. After 30 days, you’ll need to open Lyve Client on the computer and re-enter your credentials.

Lyve Mobile Array locks when powered off, ejected or unplugged from the host computer, or if the host computer goes to sleep. Use Lyve Client to unlock Lyve Mobile Array when it is reconnected to the host or the host has awakened from sleep. Note that Lyve Client must be open and the user must be signed in to use Lyve Mobile Array.

Connection Options

Lyve Mobile Array can be used as direct-attached storage. See Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) Connections.

Lyve Mobile Array can also support connections via Fibre Channel, iSCSI and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connections using the Lyve Rackmount Receiver. For details, see the Lyve Rackmount Receiver user manual.

Lyve Rackmount Receiver Connections

For details on configuring Seagate Lyve Rackmount Receiver for use with Lyve Mobile Array and other compatible devices, see the Lyve Rackmount Receiver user manual.

Connect Ethernet port

Lyve Client communicates with devices inserted in Lyve Rackmount Receiver via the Ethernet management ports. Ensure that the Ethernet management ports are connected to the same network as the host devices running Lyve Client. If no device is inserted in a slot, there’s no need to connect its corresponding Ethernet management port to the network.

Connect Lyve Mobile Array

Insert Lyve Mobile Array into slot A or B on Rackmount Receiver.

Slide device in until it’s fully inserted and firmly connected to Rackmount Receiver’s data and power.

Close latches.

Turn on power

Set the power switch on Lyve Mobile Rackmount Receiver to ON.

Unlock the device

The LED on the device blinks white during the boot process and turns solid orange. The solid orange LED color indicates the device is ready to be unlocked.

Make sure the Lyve Client app is running on the host computer. The host computer will automatically unlock the device if it connected to it in the past and is still authorized for security. If the host computer has never unlocked the device, you will need to enter your Lyve Management Portal username and password in the Lyve Client app. See Setup Requirements.

Once Lyve Client has validated permissions for the device connected to the computer, the LED on the device turns solid green. The device is unlocked and ready for use.

Status LED

The LED on the front of the enclosure indicates the device’s status. See the key below for the color and animations associated with each status.
