Administrator Guide

Set Administrator Information

The Set Administrator Information page allows you to set a new password and an email address for the Admin user.

Steps

1. Enter a new password for the default Storage Center administrator user in the New Admin Password and Confirm Password

fields.

2. Enter the email address of the default Storage Center administrator user in the Admin Email Address field.

3. Click Next.

• For a Fibre Channel or SAS storage system, the Confirm Configuration page appears.

• For an iSCSI storage system, the Configure iSCSI Fault Domains page appears.

Configure iSCSI Fault Domains (iSCSI Front-End Only)

For a Storage Center with iSCSI front-end ports, use the Configure Fault Tolerance page and the Fault Domain pages to enter network

information for the fault domains and ports.

Steps

1. (Optional) On the Configure Fault Tolerance page, click More information about fault domains or How to set up an iSCSI

network to learn more about these topics.

2. Click Next.

NOTE:

If any iSCSI ports are down, a dialog box appears that allows you to unconfigure these ports. Unconfiguring

the down iSCSI ports will prevent unnecessary alerts.

3. On the Configure iSCSI HBA Fault Domain 1 page, enter network information for the fault domain and its ports.

NOTE: Make sure that all the IP addresses for iSCSI Fault Domain 1 are in the same subnet.

4. Click Next.

5. On the Configure iSCSI HBA Fault Domain 2 page, enter network information for the fault domain and its ports. Then click Next.

NOTE: Make sure that all the IP addresses for iSCSI Fault Domain 2 are in the same subnet.

6. Click Next.

Confirm the Storage Center Configuration

Make sure that the configuration information shown on the Confirm Configuration page is correct before continuing. If you selected DHCP

IPv4 as the network configuration source, the dynamically assigned IP addresses are displayed on this page.

Steps

1. Verify that the Storage Center settings are correct.

2. If the configuration information is correct, click Apply Configuration.

If the configuration information is incorrect, click Back and provide the correct information.

NOTE:

After you click the Apply Configuration button, the configuration cannot be changed until after the Storage

Center is fully deployed.

Deploy the Storage Center

The Storage Center sets up the controller using the information provided on the previous pages.

Steps

1. The Storage Center performs system setup tasks. The Deploy Storage Center page displays the status of these tasks.

To learn more about the initialization process, click More information about Initialization.

• If one or more of the system setup tasks fails, click Troubleshoot Initialization Error to learn how to resolve the issue.

• If the Configuring Disks task fails, click View Disks to see the status of the drives detected by the Storage Center.
