Initial Setup Using the Array CLI
After your array has been installed in the rack and connected to your network, you must complete the initial setup of the array
by configuring some basic settings to get the array running on the network.
This section describes using the CLI to complete the initial setup. To use the CLI, you must first establish a connection to the
active controller on the array.
Note: If you have a Windows host, and you cannot establish a serial connection to the active controller on the array,
you must use the Storage Setup Manager to complete the initial setup. For more information, see Initial Setup Using
the Storage Setup Manager for Windows on page 38.
After the initial setup is complete, refer to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide for group and volume
configuration, plus additional optional configuration tasks.
Set up a Serial Connection
The CLI requires a serial connection for the initial setup of the array. After setup, the CLI can also use an SSH connection over
the network.
