Figure 20. MD Storage Manager: Setup Tab

The Setup tab includes tasks, such as:
Blink Storage Array selection which allows the user to turn on the indicator lights of the storage
array to identify it physically.
Rename Storage Array allows for the storage array to be renamed so it can be easily identified in
the storage management software.
Set a Storage Array Password prompts the user for a new password for the storage array to
prevent unauthorized users from making configuration changes.
Configure iSCSI Host Ports provides for the configuration of network parameters for the iSCSI
ports on the RAID controller module such as IP configuration and other advanced settings.
Configure Storage Array is a key task which allows the user to create disk groups, virtual disks and
hot spare physical disks.
Map Virtual Disks option provides for the user to map virtual disks to hosts to that the virtual disk
can used for I/O operations. As mentioned previously, this can also be accomplished from the
Mappings tab.
Save Configuration selection, users can save their configuration parameters in a file to use for
restoration or replication.
