Chapter 3. Configuring the system
After initializing the system, you will use the Storwize management GUI to
complete the configuration procedures.
v The management GUI requires a supported web browser (see “Checking your
web browser settings for the management GUI”).
v To configure a new system, you will log on to the management GUI with the
default user name and password (see “User name and password for system
initialization”).
Checking your web browser settings for the management GUI
To access the management GUI, you must ensure that your web browser is
supported and that the appropriate settings are enabled.
Before you begin
The GUI supports the following web browsers:
v Mozilla Firefox 57.0.2
v Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 52.5.2
v Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and Microsoft Edge 40
v Google Chrome 63.0.3239.84
IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors do not remove or
disable function that the product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the
versions that are certified with the product, customer support accepts usage-related
and defect-related service requests. If the support center cannot re-create the issue,
support might request the client to re-create the problem on a certified browser
version. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or
browser versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the product. If a
problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a problem is identified
with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or work-arounds that
the client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
