3Configuring the system
Using the Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard helps you initially configure the system or change system configuration settings.
The wizard has several steps, which are highlighted at the bottom of the panel as you complete them. The
last step prompts you to confirm changes before applying them. If you cancel the wizard, no changes are
made.
To use the wizard
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select either Configuration > Configuration
Wizard or Wizards > Configuration Wizard. The wizard panel appears.
2. Start the wizard.
3. Change passwords for the default users
manage and monitor.
4. Configure the system network ports.
5. Enable or disable system management interfaces.
6. Enter information to identify the system.
7. Configure event notification.
8. Configure system host ports.
9. Confirm changes and finish the wizard.
Change default passwords
The system provides the default users manage and monitor. To secure the storage system, set a new
password for each default user. A password is case sensitive. A password cannot include a comma,
double quote, or backslash. Though optional, passwords are highly recommended to ensure system
security.

Configuring network ports
You can configure addressing parameters for each controller's Ethernet management port, known as the
network port. You can set static IP values or use DHCP.
In DHCP mode, network port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values are obtained from a DHCP
server if one is available. If a DHCP server is unavailable, current addressing is unchanged. You must have
some means of determining what addresses have been assigned, such as the list of bindings on the DHCP
server.
CAUTION: Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system.
To use DHCP to obtain IP values for network ports
1. Set IP address source to dhcp.
2. Click Next to continue.
To set static IP values for network ports
1. Determine the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values to use for each controller.
2. Set IP address source to manual.
3. Set the values for each controller. You must set a unique IP address for each network port.
4. Click Next to continue.
