● If a user-creation error appears and the database server was previously used to store Storage Manager data, delete
the database user named compmsauser and the database named compmsadb, and then try again.
● If Storage Manager is able to communicate with the database server, the SMI‑S Server Properties page appears.
3. (Optional) Configure SMI-S Server Properties.
a. To configure SMI-S at this time, select Enabled, then configure the remaining properties.
NOTE: You can also configure SMI-S after the Data Collector is installed and configured. For information on setting
up and using SMI-S, see the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.

4. Select the network adapter and specify the memory limit for the Data Collector.
a. If the server that hosts the Data Collector has multiple network adapters, select which adapter the Data Collector should
use for communication.
● To select a network adapter automatically, select the Automatically Select Network Adapter check box.
● To manually select a network adapter, select a network adapter from the drop-down menu.
b. In the Max Memory Settings area, select an option to specify the maximum amount of memory that can be used by the
Data Collector. If the Data Collector manages many Storage Centers, increasing this limit can improve performance.
NOTE: Specify a value that is less than the total memory available to the Data Collector host server.
c. Click Next. The SupportAssist System State Information Collection and Storage page appears.
5. To accept the SupportAssist System State Information Collection and Storage agreement, select the check box below the
agreement.
NOTE:
SupportAssist collects diagnostic data from Storage Manager then sends it to technical support. If you do not
accept the agreement, proactive technical support services that rely on SupportAssist will not be available to you.
6. Click OK. The Create Administrator User page appears.
