Setup
After you have completed all of the installation steps, continue to set up your system by
performing the post-installation tasks in this section.
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 continue setting up your system and must be on the same subnet as
the storage system to complete the initialization.
Setting up a Unisphere Management Station for the VNX Series
is available on https:
//mydocs.emc.com/VNX/relatedDocs and provides information on different types of Unisphere
management stations.
Initialize your storage system
If your system shipped with a VNX Installation Toolbox (VIT) CD, use the Unisphere Storage
System Initialization Utility located on the CD to initialize your system. If your system did not ship
with a VIT CD, download the latest version of the VNX installation utilities from the Support
website.
You will need the information from the “VNX Block Configuration Worksheet” on page 41 in the
initialization process.
Downloading the Unisphere Storage System Initialization Wizard
1. Go to https://Support.EMC.com and select VNX Series > Install and Configure.
2. From VNX Installation Tools, download the Unisphere Storage System Initialization Wizard.
Note: If your host is behind a firewall, open the UDP ports 2162 (outgoing) and port 2163
(incoming). These ports are used by the initialization utility. If these ports are not opened, the
initialization utility will not function properly.
3. Double-click the downloaded executable and follow the steps in the wizard to install the
utility.
4. On the Install Complete screen, make sure that the Launch Unisphere Storage System
Initialization Wizard checkbox is selected.
5. Click Done. The initialization utility opens. Follow the online instructions to discover and
assign IP addresses to your storage system.
