Operation 113
In addition to summarizing the processes to configure and provision a new system for the first time,
the getting started topics provide instructions for signing in to the Disk Management Utility (GUI),
introduce key system concepts, address browser setup, and provide tips for using the main window
and the help window.
After signing-in to the Disk Management Utility (GUI), you can use online help as an alternative to
consulting the
QXS G2 Disk Management Utility User Guide .
Configuring and Provisioning the Storage System
Once you have familiarized yourself with the Disk Management Utility (GUI), use the interface to
configure and provision the storage system. If you are licensed to use the optional replication feature,
you may also need to set up the storage systems for replication. Refer to the following topics within
the
QXS G2 Disk Management Utility User Guide or online help:
• Getting Started
• Configuring the System
• Provisioning the System
• Using the Optional Replication Feature
NOTE: See the topic about licensed features in the QXS G2 Disk Management Utility User Guide for
instructions about creating a temporary license, or installing a permanent license.
IMPORTANT: If the system is used in a VMware environment, set the system’s Missing LUN
Response option to use its Illegal Request setting.
To do so, see either the topic about changing the missing LUN response in the
QXS G2 Disk
Management Utility User Guide
, or see the set advanced-settings command topic in the QXS G2
CLI Reference Guide
.
