Running the Initial Setup wizard

The Initial Setup wizard allows you to configure system information, date and time settings, and network settings.

1. On the Maintenance Utility menu, click Licenses.
2. If a message reports a problem with the website's security certificate, click Continue to this website (not recommended).
3. In the maintenance utility navigation tree, under Menu, click Initial Setup Wizard.
   Tip: Initial Setup Wizard is near the bottom of the navigation tree. If you do not see this selection, scroll down the tree.
   
   

   

   
   
4. Enter the system information, and then click Apply and Next.
   
   

   

   
   

   Setting	Description
   Storage System Name	Name used to identify the storage system. This name will appear in the maintenance utility, so use a name that is meaningful.
   Contact	Name of the contact person associated with the storage system.
   Location	Location of the storage system.

5. Enter the date and time settings, and then click Apply and Next.
   
   

   

   
   

   Setting	Description
   UTC Timezone	Time zone in which the storage system is located.
   Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time	If the time zone in which the storage system is located follows Daylight Saving Time, check this box to have the storage system automatically adjust its time twice a year.
   Use NTP Server	Determines whether the storage system time is synchronized with an NTP server. Yes: Synchronize system time with an NTP server. Enter the IP address or domain name of the NTP server. To add more than three servers, click the + Add NTP Server button. To synchronize the system time to the NTP server time now, check Synchronize immediately. No: Do not synchronize system time with an NTP server. In Date & Time, enter the date and time that the storage system will use.
   Synchronizing Time	To synchronize the storage system time with the NTP server at a specific time, enter the time when the two will be synchronized.

6. Review the network settings, which you entered previously in the Initial Startup wizard, and change them if necessary. For example:
   
   

   

   
   

   Setting	Description
   Protocol	IP addressing method to be used for configuring the storage system.
   MAC Address	Read-only field that shows the MAC address for controllers 1 and 2.
   IPv4 Configuration/ IPv6 Configuration	IPv4 Address: IPv4 address of the production network to which the storage system is connected (IPv4 only). IPv6 Address: IPv6 address of the production network to which the storage system is connected (IPv6 only). Subnet Mask: IP address mask that identifies the range of IP addresses in the subnet to which the storage system is connected. Subnet Prefix Length: Subnet prefix length of the network to which the storage system is connected (IPv6 only). Default Gateway: IP address of the default gateway to which the storage system is connected. The gateway is the IP address of the router used to communicate outside the local subnet. DNS Server 1-3: If your configuration uses DNS to resolve IP addresses (for example, the IP address for the NTP server used with the storage system), enter up to three DNS IP addresses.
   Network Connection Mode	Determines whether the storage system negotiates the speed and duplex mode automatically with the attached device. The default setting (Auto-Negotiation) connects the storage system at the highest speed and appropriate duplex setting supported by itself and the connected device.
   Option	DNS Domain Name: IP address of the DNS server that will perform address resolution. DNS Search Order: Search domain names. Use the Up and Down buttons to order the domain names. Maintenance Port: Do not change these values. Internal Network: Do not change this value.

7. Click Apply.
