Connect a management station
You must connect a management station to your system directly or remotely over a
subnetwork. This computer will be used to set up your system and must be on the same
subnet as the storage system to complete the initialization.
Check to see if there is security software running on your workstation/laptop such as
Cisco Security Agent or McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Service that may prevent the
uninitialized system from being detected. If there is, disable it (Windows Services) and
rerun the Initialization tool.
Information on different types of Unisphere management stations is available in the
document
