78 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
3.1 Overview of IBM Spectrum Virtualize management software
A GUI can simplify storage management and provide a fast and more efficient management
tool. IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1 GUI has significant changes from previous versions, such
as the icons, color palette, object locations, and more. However, usability is a priority, as in all
IBM Spectrum products, and usability is maintained in the GUI.
3.1.1 Access to the storage management software
To access the Storwize V5000 Gen2, complete the following steps:
1. To log on to the management software, type the IP address that was set during the initial
setup process into the address line of your web browser. You can connect from any
workstation that can communicate with the system. The login window opens (Figure 3-1).
Figure 3-1 Login window
We suggest that each user who operates IBM Spectrum Virtualize has an account that is
not shared with someone else. The default user accounts need to be unavailable for
remote access, or the passwords need to be changed from the default password and
known only to the system owner or kept secured for emergency purposes only.
