Web browser requirements to access the management GUI
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2012, 2013
Configuring your system is necessary in two situations: when you power up a new
system for the first time, and when you add an expansion enclosure to an existing
system.
The following instructions use the supplied USB flash drive to initialize the system.
If you are not authorized to use a USB flash drive in your situation, refer to the
"Troubleshooting" section of the Information Center for details on how to make an
Ethernet connection to the enclosure and to initialize the system using the service
assistant GUI.
After initializing the system, you will use the Storwize management GUI to
complete the configuration procedures.
v The management GUI requires a supported web browser (see "Web browser
requirements to access the management GUI").
v To configure a new system, you will log on to the management GUI with the
default user name and password (see "User name and password for system
initialization" on page 46).
The steps for initializing a new system vary, depending on the operating system of
the computer you use for the procedure.
v "Initializing the system with a Microsoft Windows computer" on page 46
v "Initializing the system with an Apple Macintosh computer" on page 47
v "Initializing the system with a Linux computer" on page 48
The steps for adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system are described in
"Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system" on page 50.
You must have a supported Web browser to access the management GUI.
The management GUI supports the following web browsers:
v Mozilla Firefox 18
v Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 17
v Internet Explorer (IE) 8 and 9
v Google Chrome 24
IBM supports higher versions of the browsers as long as the vendors do not
remove or disable functionality 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. As with operating system
and virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot re-create the issue in our
lab, we might ask the client to re-create the problem on a certified browser version
to determine whether a product defect exists. 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
