8. The wizard will display a list changes made to the Windows Server. These changes optimize the
Windows Server for MPIO performance and resiliency.
Note: Additional registry changes may be required for your transport and OS version, as listed in appendix A.
Use PowerShell or regedit to make additional adjustments as needed.
9. Optional: Check Launch wizard to create a volume for this host to create and add an SC Series
volume to this host. Leave this option unchecked if a volume will be added later.
10. Click Finish.
11. The server object is placed at the root of the Servers folder on the SC Series array.
12. Optional: If desired, right click the server object and select Move to Folder to move the server object
to a subfolder. Logically grouping server objects for ease of management is recommended but not
required.
13. Because the wizard modified MPIO registry settings on the Windows Server host, a reboot is
required. Reboot the server.
14. Next steps: If a volume was created and mapped to the server above, proceed to section 10 to review
MPIO settings and load balance options. If a volume was not created above, proceed to section 8 to
map a volume to the Windows Server host.

If possible, use the Dell Storage Manager client to automatically configure a new server object on the SC
Series array, as detailed in section 7.1.

section.
