5 Where to Go Next

After getting started, you can customize a group in order to more effectively

manage your storage environment. You can also begin to use the full set of

product features.

The PS Series Group Administration manual provides details on storage concepts

and how to use the Group Manager GUI to manage a group. The PS Series

CLI Reference manual describes how to use the Group Manager CLI to manage a

group and individual arrays.

Common Group Customization Tasks

Table 5-1 describes the common group customization tasks. These tasks are fully

documented in the PS Series Group Administration manual.

Table 5-1: Common Group Customization Tasks

Task Description

Add network connections

to a group member

Multiple network connections increase performance and

availability and are required for multipath I/O. Dell

recommends that you connect all the network interfaces on

both control modules to multiple network switches and then

use the GUI or CLI to assign an IP address and netmask to the

interfaces.

Create administration

accounts

The

grpadmin account is the default administration account.

You can set up additional accounts with different privileges.

Set up event notification To be informed of significant events in a timely manner, set up

e-mail or syslog notification.

Configure SNMP To monitor traps from the group, you can use SNMP. In

addition, you need to configure SNMP to use the Manual

Transfer Utility and other third-party monitoring tools.

Configure iSNS. To automate iSCSI target discovery, you can configure the

group to use an iSNS server.

Configure CHAP

accounts

You can use CHAP to restrict computer access to volumes.

Both initiator and target CHAP authentication are supported.

Modify the date, time, or

time zone or configure

NTP

Group time is based on the clock on the first member, which is

set at the factory. The default time zone is EST. You can also

configure the group to use an NTP server.
