Initial Setup

Overview

This function performs the initial settings that must be set before operating the storage system on a series of wizard screens.

Initial Setup is divided into "Initial Setup 1" and "Initial Setup 2".

  • Initial Setup 1

    Performs the minimum settings required before using the storage system.

  • Initial Setup 2

    Makes the reporting settings for when an error occurs in the storage system. The settings can be omitted if the reporting function will not be used.

Caution

  • If the browser is shut down during execution of Initial Setup, other functions will no longer be available. If this case, forcibly log in using the same user ID, and perform Initial Setup 1 again from the beginning. However, if you have already reached Initial Setup 2, the wizard is executed from the beginning of Initial Setup 2.

  • The setting items varies depending on the login user role.

  • If the message "Currently Network Configuration is set to factory default." is displayed in the system message field, the network environment settings for the MNT port must be performed. The following functions in Initial Setup 2 are not displayed until the network environment settings are complete.

    • Setup SNMP Agent Basic Interface

    • Setup SNMP Manager

    • Setup SNMP Agent MIB Access View

    • Setup SNMP Agent User

    • Setup SNMP Agent Community

    • Setup SNMP Agent Trap

    • Setup E-Mail Notification

    • Setup Syslog

Note

  • The [Initial Setup 1] wizard is displayed when a user with the required policies for this setting performs the first login after installing the storage system. After the [Initial Setup 1] is complete and the user with the required policies logs in again, the [Initial Setup 2] wizard is displayed. For users without the required polices, the [Overview] screen is displayed at the first login.

  • The settings made in the Initial Setup can be changed individually later.
