Chapter 3. Configuring The System; Checking Your Web Browser Settings For The Management Gui - IBM Storwize V5100 MTM 2078-424 Quick Installation Manual

Chapter 3. Configuring the system

After installing and connecting the enclosures, you can initialize the control enclosure by using the
technician port.
• To use the enclosure hardware, the system software must be configured. Your web browser is used to
access the system's initialization and configuration interfaces. "Checking your web browser settings for
the management GUI" on page 81 describes how to ensure that you are using a supported web
browser.
• Each control enclosure supports the connection of SAS expansion enclosures. These can be added by
following the procedure in Chapter 4, "Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system," on page
87.

Checking your web browser settings for the management GUI

To access the management GUI, you must ensure that your web browser is supported and that the
appropriate settings are enabled.
Before you begin
The management GUI supports the following HTML5-compliant browsers:
• Mozilla Firefox 66
• Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 60
• Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and Microsoft Edge 44
• Google Chrome 74
Note: The minimum viewpoint for browser window for the management GUI is 1024 x 768. Scaling
browser view to less than those dimensions affects readability of data on management GUI pages.
IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors do not remove or disable function that the
product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the versions that are certified with the product,
customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. If the support center
cannot re-create the issue, support might request the client to re-create the problem on a certified
browser version. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser
versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in the product,
defects are accepted. If a problem is identified with the browser, IBM might investigate potential
solutions or work-arounds that the client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
