● Initialize an array. (This option also allows you to create a PS Series group with the array as its first member, or to have
the array join an existing PS Series group.)
● Configure the computer to access a PS Series group (launches the Auto-Snapshot Manager GUI)
● Configure multipathing (MPIO) settings for the computer (launches the Auto-Snapshot Manager GUI)

Initialize a PS Series Array Using RSW
This section contains information on how to use RSW to initialize a PS Series array. If you are initializing a PS Series array, you
will have the option of creating a new PS Series group and adding the array as its first member, or adding the array to an
existing PS Series group.
Search for a PS Series Array Using RSW
RSW discovers all accessible, uninitialized arrays in your SAN and displays them in a formatted list. You can then search and sort
this list to identify a specific PS Series array that you want to initialize and set up as a member of a group. You can specify an
alphanumeric string, such as part of the array’s serial number, and the first matching array is returned.
You can specify an alphanumeric string or substring for any of the following attributes:
● Serial Number—The array’s serial number. Typical PS Series serial numbers are SHU946170103CB8 or B035687.
● Product Family—The model number of the array. For example, the string 60 matches arrays with model numbers PS6000
and PS6010. (The string 60 also finds matches in the serial number fields.)
● Firmware—The revision number of the PS Series firmware that is running on the array, such as 7.1.0.
● Disk Info—The number or capacity of drives in the array. For example, the string 14 matches all arrays that contain 14 drives.
(That string also finds matches in the serial number fields.) Similarly, 8.00GB matches all arrays that contain 8GB drives.
If the search feature matches an array in the list, you can mouse over any line item to display other information about the array,
including its:
● MAC address for Ethernet port 0 (eth0)
● Host adapter MAC address to which the array is connected
● Supported RAID levels
To sort the list of arrays, click on a column heading. For example, click the Firmware heading to sort firmware revisions in
ascending order. Click a second time to sort in descending order. A triangle to the right of the column header indicates the
current sort column, if any, and the sort direction.
Information Required for Initializing a PS Series Array
When you initialize the PS Series array, RSW will prompt you for the information described in the following table and in Group
Configuration on page 27.
Table 5. Array Configuration
Prompt Description
Member name Unique name used to identify the array in the group. The name string must be
fewer than 64 alphanumeric characters or hyphens. No other characters are
permitted. The first character must be a letter or number.
IP address (IPv4) Network address for the Ethernet 0 network interface, which must be an IPv4
address. Each member must have at least one network interface on the same
subnet as the group IP address, described in Group Configuration on page 27.
