6. Specify the Group Management IP address and the username/password credentials for the storage array. The array user
should have Power User or above credentials.
If you do not do this when you set up the toolkit, you can use the PowerShell cmdlet Set-NWTConfiguration to specify
the array credentials.
You must register at least one group. The host must be registered with the array group to enable application-synchronized
snapshot creation.

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 19. 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.
