Verify that you have successfully completed the sequential “Installation Checklist” instructions in Table 3 on
page 28. Once you have successfully completed steps 1 through 10 therein, you can access the
management interfaces using your web-browser, to complete the system setup.
Accessing the SMC or RAIDar
Upon completing the hardware installation, you can access the controller module’s web-based
management interface [either the SMC (v3) or RAIDar (v2)] to configure, monitor, and manage the storage
system. Invoke your web browser, and enter the IP address of the controller module’s network port in the
address field (obtained during completion of “Installation Checklist” step 10), then press Enter. To sign-in to
the SMC or RAIDar, use the default user name manage and password !manage. If the default user or
password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure login credentials instead of
the defaults shown above. This brief Sign In discussion assumes proper web browser setup.
IMPORTANT: For detailed information on accessing and using either the SMC or RAIDar, see the
“Getting Started” section in the web-posted Storage Management Guide.
In addition to summarizing the processes to configure and provision a new system for the first time—using
the wizards—the Getting Started section provides instructions for signing in to the SMC or RAIDar,
introduces key system concepts, addresses browser setup, and provides tips for using the main window
and the help window.
TIP: After signing-in to either the SMC or RAIDar, you can use online help as an alternative to consulting
the Storage Management Guide.
Configuring and provisioning the storage system
Once you have familiarized yourself with either the SMC or RAIDar GUI, use the interface to configure and
provision the storage system. If you are licensed to use the optional AssuredRemote feature, you may also
need to set up the storage systems for replication. Refer to the following topics within the Storage
Management Guide or online help:
• Getting started
• Configuring the system
• Provisioning the system
• Using AssuredRemote to replicate volumes
NOTE: See the Storage Management Guide for instructions about creating a temporary license, or
installing a permanent license.
IMPORTANT: If the system is used in a VMware environment, set the system’s Missing LUN Response
option to use its Illegal Request setting. To do so, see either the configuration topic “Changing the missing
LUN response” in the Storage Management Guide or the command topic “set-advanced-settings” in the CLI
Reference Guide.
