Configuring a system for the first time

Configuring your web browser for SMU

Before using SMU to perform remaining steps, ensure that your web browser is properly configured
according to the following guidelines:
Your browser must be Internet Explorer 7 or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later. (Check the QuickSpecs for an
updated list of supported browsers. QuickSpecs can be found from your HP MSA products page at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa
QuickSpecs will be on the right.)
To see the help window, you must enable pop-up windows.
To optimize the display, use a color monitor and set its color quality to the highest setting.
To navigate beyond the Sign In page (with a valid user account):
• Set the browser's local-intranet security option to medium or medium-low.
• Verify that the browser is set to allow cookies at least for the IP addresses of the storage-system
network ports.

Logging in to SMU from a local management host

To log in to SMU from a local management host:
1.
In the web browser's address field, type the IP address of one of the controller enclosure's Ethernet
management ports and press Enter.
The SMU Sign In page is displayed. If the Sign-in page does not display, verify that you have entered
the correct IP address.
2.
On the Sign In page, type the default management user name manage and default password
!manage.
If you are logging in to the SMU for the first time and no language packages have been installed, the
Language field displays user setting or English, either of which when selected results in English. See the
reference guide for information on configuring languages.
3.
Click Sign In.
The System Overview page is displayed.

Tips for using the main window

The Configuration View panel displays logical and physical components of the storage system. To
perform a task, select the component to act on and then either:
• Right-click to display a context menu and select the task to perform. This is the method that help
topics describe.
• Click a task category in the main panel and select the task to perform.
The System Status panel shows how many events of each severity have occurred in the system. To view
event details, click a severity icon.
Many tables can be sorted by a specific column. To do so, click the column heading to sort low to high;
click again to sort high to low.
Do not use the browser's Back, Forward, Reload, or Refresh buttons. The application is essentially a
single page that is automatically updated to show current data. You do not need to refresh it and if you
click Back, you may exit the application.
If an option name has an asterisk (*), the option is required.
