3 Software Configuration

After you complete the array hardware installation, you can initialize the array

and create a PS Series group with the array as the first group member. Alternately,

you can add the array to an existing group. When you expand a group, capacity

and performance scale automatically with no impact on users.

• Step 1: Choose a Configuration Method on page 3-1.

• Step 2: Collect Configuration Information on page 3-2.

• Step 3: Start the Software Configuration on page 3-4.

• Step 4: Set the Member RAID Policy on page 3-8.

After completing the software configuration, you can allocate storage and start

using the SAN. See Chapter 4, Storage Allocation.

Step 1: Choose a Configuration Method

There are two methods for configuring the software. Choose one method:

• Use the Remote Setup Wizard.

• Use the

setup utility.

About the Remote Setup Wizard

The Remote Setup Wizard is located on the Host Integration Tools CD-ROM

included in the shipping box and must be installed on a Windows computer. If you

meet the requirements, use the wizard. In addition to initializing an array and

creating or expanding a group, the wizard automatically:

• Sets the RAID policy for the first group member.

• Configures computer access to the group by specifying the group IP address

as the iSCSI discovery address and enabling Microsoft service access from

the computer to the group through CHAP authentication.
