Embedded StorView Initial Setup

If this is the first startup of the Embedded StorView module, you will probably
need to configure the network settings. The Embedded StorView module
supports both DHCP and manual network settings. By default the Embedded
StorView module will look for a DHCP server to obtain an IP address. If none is
found, it will search to determine if an IP address had been previously assigned.
If neither are valid, the system defaults to an IP address of:
StorView provides a wizard-based tool to configure new Embedded StorView
modules. It is a Windows-based only tool.
When the Embedded StorView Setup Wizard is run, it will broadcast UDP packets
and any Embedded StorView module will reply with more UDP packets
containing their information. A list of "uninitialized" systems is displayed.
Uninitialized systems are those which have not had the default user name and
password changed. Even if a configuration is created with arrays and logical
drives but the login name and password have not been changed, it will still be
considered an uninitialized system. During the process of configuring an
Embedded StorView module, you will be required to enter a "new' password and
re-confirm that password.
The Embedded StorView module is identified by its MAC and IP address. It may
be more helpful during setup to configure one Embedded StorView module at a
time. Either way you will find the MAC address located on a label affixed to the
top of the controller case. Note the specific address of each controller in multiple
controller environments and the location where that specific controller is installed
in the enclosure.
To proceed with setting up your Embedded StorView, follow the procedures on
the next page.
