After configuring a Storage Center, you can set up block-level storage for a localhost, VMware vSphere
host, or VMware vCenter.
Set Up a localhost from Initial Setup
Configure a localhost to access block-level storage on the Storage Center.
Prerequisites
• Client must be running on a system with a 64-bit operating system.
• The Dell Storage Client must be run by a Dell Storage Client user with the Administrator privilege.
• On a Storage Center with Fibre Channel IO ports, configure Fibre Channel zoning before starting this
procedure.
Steps
1. On the Configuration Complete page of the Discover and Configure Storage Center wizard, click
Set up block level storage for this host.
The Set up localhost for Storage Center wizard appears.
• If the Storage Center has iSCSI ports and the host is not connected to any interface, the Log into
Storage Center via iSCSI page appears. Select the target fault domains, and then click Log In.
• In all other cases, the Verify localhost Information page appears. Proceed to the next step.
2. On the Verify localhost Information page, verify that the information is correct. Then click Create
Server.
The server definition is created on the Storage Center for the connected and partially connected
initiators.
3. The Host Setup Successful page displays the best practices that were set by the wizard and best
practices that were not set. Make a note of any best practices that were not set. It is recommended
that these updates be applied manually before starting IO to the Storage Center.
