After you complete the basic steps for configuring the storage array, you can

are connected to the storage array. Use this option only if the host is not
automatically recognized and shown in the Mappings tab.

parameters for the Ethernet management ports on the RAID controller
modules if you are managing the storage array by using the out-of-band
management connections.
• View and enable premium features—Your MDSM may include premium

features that are already started. You can start available premium features
that are currently stopped.
