168 IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
4.4.1 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node graphical user interface (GUI) is designed to
simplify storage management and provide a fast and more efficient management tool. Use a
supported web browser for GUI access to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the IBM Flex
System V7000 Storage Node. It is also used primarily to configure RAID arrays and logical
drives, assign logical drives to hosts, replace and rebuild failed disk drives, and expand the
logical drives.
After the first-time setup procedure is complete, open your web browser on a workstation and
point it to your IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node management IP address (Figure 4-24)
and complete the steps guided by the Initial Setup wizard. The default login is superuser and
the password is passw0rd.

JavaScript: You might need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Additionally, if you are
using Firefox, under Advanced JavaScript Settings, you need to click Disable or replace
context menus and allow cookies.
Tip: If a management IP has been configured for your IBM Flex System V7000 Storage
Node, the system name that you specified will appear in the login window, as shown in
Figure 4-24. If a longer system name is used, you might need to hover over the system
name to view the full system name, due to limited display space.
