Once you have successfully completed steps 1 to 7 listed in
Table 1
"
Installation Checklist
" on
page 15, you can access the management interfaces using your web browser to complete the
system setup as outlined below.
4.1
Accessing RAIDar
Once the hardware installation is complete, you can access the controller module’s
web-based management interface, RAIDar, to configure, monitor, and manage the storage
system.
1.
Point your browser to the IP address of the controller module’s network port
(obtained in “Installation Checklist” step 7).
2.
To sign-in to RAIDar, enter the default user name
manage
and password
!manage
. If
the default user name and/or password have been changed for security reasons, enter
the secure login credentials instead of the defaults.
IMPORTANT:
For detailed information on accessing and using RAIDar, see the
“Getting Started” section in the
EF4024 RAIDar User Guide
.
In addition to summarizing the processes to configure and provision a new system for the
first time—using the wizards—the Getting Started section provides instructions for signing
in to RAIDar, introduces key system concepts, addresses browser setup, and provides tips
for using the main window and the help window.
TIP:
After signing-in to RAIDar, you can use online help as an alternative to consulting
the user guide.
4.2
Configuring and Provisioning the Storage System
Once you have familiarized yourself with RAIDar, use it to configure and provision the
storage system. Refer to the following chapters in the
EF4024 RAIDar User Guide
:
• Getting started
• Configuring the system
• Provisioning the system
IMPORTANT:
If the system is used in a VMware environment, set the system’s
Missing LUN Response option to use its Illegal Request setting. To do
so, see either the configuration topic “Missing LUN Response” in the
EF4024 RAIDar User Guide
or the command topic
“set-advanced-settings” in the
EF4024 CLUI Command Reference
.
