Chapter 3. Configuring the system
Configuring your system is necessary in two situations: when you power up a new
system for the first time, and when you add an expansion enclosure to an existing
system.
After initializing the system, to use the Storwize management GUI to complete the
configuration procedures, you need a supported browser and you need to log on
to the system.
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 log on to the management GUI with the default
user name and password. See “User name and password for system
initialization.”
The steps for initializing a new system are described in “Initializing the system by
using the technician port” on page 150.
The steps for adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system are described in
“Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system” on page 151.
The steps for adding a control enclosure to an existing system are described in
“Adding a control enclosure to an existing system” on page 152.
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 management GUI supports the following HTML5-compliant browsers:
v Mozilla Firefox 63
v Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 60
v Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and Microsoft Edge 42
v Google Chrome 70
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.
