Conrm the Storage Center Conguration

Make sure that the conguration information shown on the Conrm Conguration page is correct before continuing. If you selected DHCP

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

1 Verify that the Storage Center settings are correct.

2 If the conguration information is correct, click Apply Conguration.

If the conguration information is incorrect, click Back and provide the correct information.

NOTE: After you click the Apply Conguration button, the conguration 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.

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 Conguring Disks task fails, click View Disks to see the status of the drives detected by the Storage Center.

• If any of the Storage Center front-end ports are down, the Storage Center Front-End Ports Down dialog box opens. Select the

ports that are not connected to the storage network, then click OK.

2 When all of the Storage Center setup tasks are complete, click Next.

Review Redundant Paths (FC or SAS Front-End Only)

For a Storage Center with Fibre Channel or SAS front-end ports, the Fault Tolerance page displays an example fault domain topology based

on the number of controllers and type of front-end ports. The Review Redundant Paths page displays information about the fault domains

created by the

Storage Center.

1 (Optional) On the Fault Tolerance page, click More information about fault domains to learn more about fault domains.

2 Click Next.

NOTE

: If there are down SAS or Fibre Channel HBA ports, a dialog box appears that allows you to uncongure down ports.

Unconguring the down SAS or Fibre Channel HBA ports will prevent unnecessary alerts.

3 On the Review Redundant Paths page, make sure that all the information about the fault domains is correct.

4 Click Next.
