2 Working with storage systems
Storage systems displayed in the navigation window have a tree structure of configuration categories
under them. The storage system configuration categories include:
• Diagnostics
• Storage
• TCP/IP Network
Storage system configuration categories
Storage system configuration categories allow access to all the configuration tasks for individual
storage systems. You must log in to each storage system individually to configure the functions of
that storage system.

Storage system configuration category definitions
• Diagnostics—Run hardware diagnostic tests, view current hardware status and configuration
information, and save log files.
• Storage—Manage RAID and the individual disks in the storage system.
• TCP/IP Network—For each storage system, configure and manage the network settings,
including network interface cards (NICs), the routing table, and which interface carries SAN/iQ
communication.
Storage system tasks
Working with the storage system
After finding all the storage systems on the network, you configure each storage system individually.
1. Select the storage system in the navigation window.
Usually you will be logged in automatically. However, you will have to log in manually for
any storage systems running a software version earlier than release 7.0. If you do need to
manually log in, the Log In window opens.
2. Enter a user name and password.
3. Click Log In.
Logging in to and out of storage systems
You must log in to a management group to perform any tasks in that group. Logging into the
management group automatically logs you into the storage systems in that group. You can log out
of individual storage systems in the management group, and log back in to them individually.
