You must configure a number of parameters in the RSA II before proceeding with the installation process.
Refer to section 3.2 in the iSCSI Network Planning Guide for detailed information required to configure the
RSA II. This process picks up from any of the screens after signon on the RSA II web browser interface.
Before you begin: Be sure to have the iSCSI Network Planning Worksheets handy; you will need
information from them as you complete this task.
Navigate to the RSA II Web browser interface.
