Note: Both Control Stations must be running exactly the same version of the EMCNAS
software. You should verify the software on both Control Stations, even if the first one you
check has the correct version.
After the Control Station has installed the NAS software on the array, the blades are
rebooted. This time, the blades boot from system LUN 0 on the array. During this
boot process, the blade BIOS and POST versions are automatically upgraded if
needed.
If Fibre Channel configuration problems exist, you would encounter them now.
Problems such as incorrect zoning, incompatible switch software versions, or
incorrect array initiator records can cause the boot to fail.
The remaining steps set the configuration values, and then create the user volumes.
These steps are typically performed by using the Setup Celerra wizard in the EMC
Unisphere interface. The Setup Celerra wizard walks you through the various
settings—you can perform the same tasks by using the CLI. EMC recommends that
you use the Setup Celerra wizard to prevent accidentally skipping a required setting.

User tasks that require a user interface are performed by using the EMC Unisphere™
interface. The Unisphere interface replaces the Celerra Manager and Navisphere
Manager interfaces of earlier releases. However, if the backend array is using FLARE
release 29 or earlier, Navisphere Manager is required for some of the backend tasks.
Appendix I provides the procedures to perform these tasks.
A domain is a group of EMC storage systems that are centrally administered. A VNX
VG2/VG8 gateway cannot form or join a domain.
