Configuring a System via the Startup Wizard

Step 11: Configure IO Cards (optional)

The Configure IO Cards step allows you to configure iSCSI IO cards.

If the Storage Center detects iSCSI IO cards, the Startup Wizard displays information for
the IO cards. With Storage Center 5.5, network attributes for all iSCSI IO cards can now be
configured from a single screen instead of configuring cards one at a time on separate
screens. In addition, all cards are now configurable, not just those that are uninitialized.

Note

All iSCSI IO Cards must be assigned static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
values before the IO Cards can be used. Uninitialized iSCSI IO cards have an IP
Address of 0.0.0.0 and will be listed in a warnings window.
