62 Chapter 8 Storage enclosure management
IMPORTANT Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage
enclosure.
Disk Storage Management Utility usage
Quantum provides a user-friendly interface that provides the means to configure, monitor, and manage the
storage system: the Disk Storage Management Utility (DSMU). Access it through a supported browser, then
use it to complete initial configuration of the management host, then monitor and manage the storage
enclosure.

For best results, use the following guidelines:
l
Enable browser pop-up windows and set the browser to allow cookies for the related storage system IP
addresses.
l
For Internet Explorer, set the browser’s local-intranet security option to medium or medium-low, and then
add each controller’s network IP address as a trusted site.
NOTE By default, your system is loaded with self-signed certificates. You should generate new self-signed
certificates on each controller, using the
create certificate
CLI command. Expect browser warnings about
security or privacy concerns related to self-signed or untrusted certificates or invalid certificate authorities.
Bypass such warnings if you are confident of a secure connection. Depending on the browser and its settings,
you can create a security exception to inhibit future related warnings, despite the continued indication of an
insecure connection in the browser address bar.
Access the web-based management interface
Once you successfully complete initial installation of the storage enclosure and initial configuration of the
management host, you can access the controller module's web-based management interface, the Disk
Storage Management Utility (DSMU). It is a user-friendly interface that provides the means to configure,
monitor, and manage the storage system.
To access the web-based management interface:
1. Launch a web browser on the computer connected to the controller module.
2. Enter the IP address of the controller module's network port, either the default address of 10.0.0.2/3 or the
address you just configured, then press Enter.
3. To log in to the DSMU, perform the following actions:
a. In the web browser address field, type
https://<controller-network-port-IP-address>,
such as
10.1.4.33 without any leading zeros, and then press Enter. If a login prompt does not display, confirm
you entered the correct IP address.
