Post Installation Tasks

• Automatic Discovery—Automatic discovery queries the local

sub-network for all iSCSI-based storage arrays and may take several

minutes to complete.

• Manual Discovery—Manual discovery allows you to locate

iSCSI-based storage arrays that are outside of the local sub-network.

Manual discovery requires selecting whether your storage array has a

single controller (simplex) or dual controllers (duplex) and whether to

use IPv4 or IPv6 protocol for communicating with the management

port of the storage array.

5 The next screen presents a list of the iSCSI-based storage arrays that were

discovered based on the discovery process selected in step 3.
If you select

Automatic Discovery, the screen displays a list of all the

iSCSI-based storage arrays that were discovered in the subnet.
If you select

Manual Discovery, then the list contains only the arrays

whose IP addresses were entered. You can add additional arrays to the list

by clicking the

Add button on this screen.

You can also remove the arrays from this list by using the

Remove button.

You can click

Blink Array to start the blinking of the array’s front panel

LED in order to locate the array physically and ensure it is the array you

intend to configure. Click

Stop Blinking to stop the blinking of the array

before you proceed.
Select the array by clicking the radio button of the corresponding storage

array and then click

Next.

6 Enter the name of the storage array and the password.

If you want to set a new password for the array, select Set Password and

then enter the new password in the

New Password and Confirm New

Password fields. Click Next to continue.

7 Select the IP protocol (IPv4/IPv6) to be used by the management port. Also,

for each protocol, select whether the configuration of the management port IP

addresses is to be done manually or automatically. For more information, see

the online help.
Click

Next to continue after you has finished selecting the protocols and

the configuration method.
