Discover the Array

There are multiple ways to initially set up an array. In addition to the method presented here, you can also use the CLI or HPE
Storage Toolkit for Windows. For more information on the installation process, see the Hardware Guide for your array platform.
If you are using a PC to configure your environment, you might need to use a third party tool to aid in the discovery and setup
of the array.
Note: The Windows host used to initially configure the array must be on the same Layer 2 network as the array.
Procedure
1. In the Windows Start menu, choose HPE Storage > Setup Manager.
