To complete this wizard, you will need the following information:
•
A name for the management group.
•
A storage system discovered on the network and then configured for RAID and the Network

DNS domain name, suffix, and server IP address for email event notification

IP address or hostname and port of your email (SMTP) server for event notification

NOTE: Names of management groups, clusters, volumes, and snapshots cannot be changed in
the future without deleting the management group.
Enabling server access to volumes
Create a server or server cluster to connect application servers to volumes. To create a server or
server cluster, you must first have created a management group, a cluster, and at least one volume.
You should also plan the following:
•
The application servers that need access to volumes.
•
The iSCSI initiator you plan to use. You need the server’s initiator name, and CHAP information
if you plan to use CHAP.
•
For Fibre Channel access, have two Fibre Channel-enabled storage systems in the management
group.
See “Controlling server access to volumes” (page 199) for more information.
