Running The NAS Manager Configuration Wizard

The NAS Manager Configuration Wizard is the final step in completing the PowerVault NAS cluster solution

configuration and integrating the solution into the environment. In addition to formatting and starting the file system, you

can set up the DNS, time management, user identification, authentication parameters, and monitoring options.

You can leave the wizard at any time by selecting another page from the navigation pane. Every page in the

configuration wizard can also be accessed from the navigation pane. This means that you can modify the system's

configuration parameters directly, by accessing the appropriate page from the navigation pane, without having to run

the entire wizard.

NOTE: The Start Configuration Wizard in the NAS Manager opens automatically when you click Finish in the NAS

IDU.

To configure the DNS:

Launch the PowerVault NAS Manager.

From the navigation pane, select Cluster Management → Maintenance → Start Configuration Wizard.

The Configuration Wizard (DNS Configuration) step 1 of 14 screen is displayed.

Enter the DNS server IP address and the DNS suffix.

NOTE: You can add additional DNS servers and DNS suffixes by clicking Add DNS server and Add DNS suffix.

Click Next.

The Configuration Wizard (Time Configuration) step 2 of 14 screen is displayed.

To configure NTP enter a time zone for the NAS solution and choose whether to sync the cluster time with an NTP

server (recommended) or enter time manually.

In the Configuration Wizard (Time Configuration) step 2 of 14 screen, select the appropriate Time zone from the list.

Select Time should be synchronized with an NTP server and enter the NTP server IP address.

If no NTP servers exist in the environment, select There is no NTP server to synchronize time with and enter the

time and date manually.

NOTE: You must use an NTP server. If the clients and the NAS cluster get out of sync for more than five

minutes, the clients cannot connect to the cluster.

Click Next.

The Configuration Wizard (E-mail Configuration) step 3 of 14 screen is displayed.
