Configuring a system for the first time

Configuring your web browser for SMU

Before using SMU to perform remaining steps, ensure that your web browser is properly configured

according to the following guidelines:

Your browser must be Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, or later. For better

performance, use Firefox or Internet Explorer 7 or later.

NOTE:

Check the QuickSpecs for currently supported browsers. QuickSpecs can be found from

your HP MSA products page at

http://www.hp.com/go/msa

. Select MSA SAN Arrays, and then

select your product. The link for QuickSpecs will be on the right.

To see the help window, you must enable pop-up windows.

To optimize the display, use a color monitor and set its color quality to the highest setting.

To navigate beyond the Sign In page (with a valid user account):
• Set the browser’s local-intranet security option to medium or medium-low.
• Verify that the browser is set to allow cookies at least for the IP addresses of the storage-system

network ports.

Signing in to SMU

To sign in:

1.

In the web browser’s address field, type the IP address of a controller network port and press Enter.
The SMU Sign In page is displayed. If the Sign-in page does not display, verify that you have entered

the correct IP address.
Do not include a leading zero in the IP address. For example, enter 10.1.4.6; not 10.1.4.06.

2.

On the Sign In page, enter the name and password of a default or configured user, and select your

preferred display language.
If you are logging in to the SMU for the first time and no language packages have been installed, the

Language field displays user setting or English, either of which when selected results in English. See the

reference guide for information on configuring languages.
Each user has a Monitor or Manage access level, as described in the user accounts topic in SMU‘s

reference guide and help. Multiple monitor and manage users can be signed-in to a controller

simultaneously.

3.

Click Sign In.
If the system is available, the System Overview page is displayed; otherwise, a message indicates that

the system is unavailable.

For each active SMU session, an identifier is stored in the browser. Depending on how your browser treats

this session identifier, you might be able to run multiple independent sessions simultaneously. Each instance

of Internet Explorer can run a separate SMU session; however, all instances of Firefox share the same

session.
To sign out, see

Tips for using the main window

The Configuration View panel displays logical and physical components of the storage system. To

perform a task, select the component to act on and then either:
• Right-click to display a context menu and select the task to perform. This is the method that help

topics describe.

• Click a task category in the main panel and select the task to perform.
