and an agile hardware platform to intelligently manage data at a more granular level. The
patented technology optimizes performance, lowers costs and increases storage

Storage Center 5.5
iSCSI Configure IO Card Wizard Improvements
All iSCSI cards are now configurable using the iSCSI Configure IO Cards wizard. In
previous releases, only uninitialized cards could be configured via this wizard. In addition,
all iSCSI IO cards detected by the system can now be configured from a single window
rather than configuring cards one at a time on separate windows. This functionality can be
accessed via the Startup Wizard and via Storage Center System Explorer through multiple
paths.
Search Capability added to GUI
A search capability has been added to the bottom of the system tree in System Explorer.
The search feature provides the ability to search through the system tree for objects . A
dropdown menu allows filtering objects by type: All (default), Volumes, Disks, Servers. Left
and right arrows allow navigating forward and back. An arrow to the left of the search field
allows you to minimize/maximize the search function. A checkbox is provided to match
case.
Configure Local Ports Changes
Front-end values for Fibre Channel ports attached an enclosure can no longer be set via
the Configure Local Ports wizard. In support of this change, a Enclosure Connected column
has been added to the FC ports table (virtual port and legacy port modes).
Demoting Volume Mappings from a Server Cluster to an Individual Cluster Node
In earlier versions of Storage Center, users were required to demote server cluster
mappings one at a time. In this version, users can demote multiple cluster mappings at the
same time using the Demote Mappings to Server Cluster Nodes window.
Restore Deleted User Wizard
The Restore Deleted User wizard enables users to select the deleted user to be restored
and provide a new password for the restored user.
Allow Replays to Coalesce into an Active Replay
The Volume Properties screen now displays an option to allow Replays for the displayed
volume to coalesce into the active Replay. This option is unselected by default. As part of
this change, the Space Consumption Limit and Import Data To Lowest Tier options have
also been moved from the General tab to the new Advanced tab of the Volume Properties
window.
