Preparing Your Management Station

A management station is required to manage and configure the NAS cluster solution. The NAS cluster solution can be
accessed using either the CLI or the Dell PowerVault NAS Manager.
NOTE: You can either log on to the CLI or the NAS Manager. It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to
log on to both the CLI and NAS Manager at the same time.
The minimum requirements for the management station are:
• IPv6 must be enabled.
• The NAS Initial Deployment Utility (IDU) must be installed.
NOTE: You can download and install the latest version of the Dell NAS IDU from dell.com/support.
• The NAS cluster solution must be cabled appropriately and for the initial deployment, both the management
station and NAS Appliance(s) must be connected to the same physical client or LAN switch.
• Either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox must be installed with JavaScript enabled.
• Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) must be installed to manage the MD storage array.
