Post Installation Tasks
Before using the PowerVault MD3600f Series storage array for the first time,
complete a number of initial configuration tasks in the order shown. These
tasks are performed using the MD Storage Manager (MDSM) software.
1
For out-of-band management, you must set the network configuration for
each RAID controller module, including its Internet Protocol (IP) address,
subnetwork mask (subnet mask), and gateway.
NOTE: You can set the network configuration using a DHCP server.

icon. You can also launch MD Storage Manager in Linux by running
the following commands at the command prompt:

In the

and start the automatic discovery of systems.
NOTE: Only storage arrays configured with IP address on the same subnet as
the management stations will be detected.

Closing the Automatic Discovery Status window before this stops the
discovery process.
After discovery is complete, a confirmation screen appears.
