Complete the Initial Setup Using the Storage Setup Manager
The HPE Storage Setup Manager for Windows enables you to create a new group from an uninitialized array. The array is the
only member of the group.
The configuration options provided by the array web GUI depend on the network protocol being used. If it detects that an
array is using iSCSI, it provides a set of configuration options specific to iSCSI; if it detects that Fibre Channel is being used, it
provides a set of configuration options specific to Fibre Channel.
Note: A newly plugged-in array might not appear immediately on the array details page of the GUI. It might take up
to five (5) minutes to update the page. Refresh the browser to see the array on the page immediately after you plug
it in.
Before you begin
The Windows host that you use to initially configure the array must be connected to the same physical subnet as the array
management port and have direct (non-routed) access to the array management port.
The Windows host must have the following software installed:
•
.NET Framework 4.5.2 or above
•
HPE Storage Toolkit for Windows
Before you start, complete the Installation Checklist on page 20. You need the information from the checklist to perform the
initial GUI setup.
CAUTION: If you have multiple unconfigured arrays and you plan to add them to the same group, configure only one
array now. Later, add the remaining arrays to the group. For information about how to add an array to a group, refer
to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide.
Note: Subnet and VLAN configuration are separate actions. VLANs are not supported during setup.
Procedure
1. In the Windows Start menu, choose HPE Storage > Setup Manager.
2. Select one of the uninitialized arrays from the setup manager list and click Next.
Note: If the array is not visible in setup manager, verify that the array is on the same subnet as the Windows host.
3. In the Information dialog, click OK.
Clicking OK closes the setup manager, and continues the setup on the array through your web browser.
4. You might see a warning similar to There is a problem with this website's security certificate. You can safely ignore this
warning and click Continue.
If prompted, you can also download and accept the security certificate. Or create your own security certificate. Refer to
the cert command in the Command Reference.
Note: If Internet Explorer 11 displays a blank page, clear the browser's cache. The page should be visible after
refreshing the browser.
