Installation and Setup Configuring the Software
3–4
Step 3: Start the Software Configuration
After collecting the configuration information, use the setup utility or the
Remote Setup Wizard to initialize the array and either create a group with the
array as the first group member or add the array to an existing group.
Once you complete the software configuration, the array becomes a member of a
group and its disk storage is available for use.
Using the setup Utility to Configure the Software
To use the setup utility to initialize an array and create or expand a group:
1. On the console or terminal emulator that has the serial connection to the array,
press the key.
Note: If the array does not respond, contact your PS Series support provider
for information on how to proceed.
2. At the login prompt, enter
grpadmin for both the account (login) name and
the password. Passwords do not appear on the screen.
3. When prompted, enter y to start the setup utility. You can also enter n and, at
a later time, type
setup at the console prompt (>) to start the utility.
4. When prompted, enter the array and group configuration information from
Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. Press the key to accept a default value. Enter a
question mark (
?) to obtain help.
Make sure you specify whether to create a group with the array as the first
member or add the array to an existing group.
Note: There may be a short delay after entering the group IP address as the
array searches the network.
An example of using the
setup utility to initialize an array and create a group is
shown in Figure 3-1.
After
setup completes, you must set the member’s RAID policy in order to use
the disk storage. Go to Step 4: Set the Member RAID Policy on page 3-7.
