Running the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility

You can start the storage system initialization utility from the server
on which it is installed or from the server support CD. The storage
system initialization utility has two methods for executing commands
— a command line interface that can be scripted, or a text-based utility
that cannot be scripted. Before continuing make sure that the storage
system is powered up completely.

Note

: Before using the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility, make

sure that you know the static IP addresses for the storage system SPs (for
example, http://123.45.6.7 and 123.45.6.8), the subnet mask, and the default
gateway address. For storage system initialization, connect the server from
which you are running the utility and the storage system to the same network
subnet, Once you have assigned an IP address to the storage system, the server
and storage system can be on different subnets.
