Dell EqualLogic PS-M4110 Installation Guide Chapter 4 Configuring the Array
Configure the Array
You can use the CMC GUI, the CMC CLI, the EqualLogic Setup Utility, or the EqualLogic Remote Setup
Wizard (RSW), to configure (setup) the array.
After that, you can set the RAID policy, and create a group with the array as the first group member, or add the
array to an existing group.
After you complete configuration/setup, the array becomes a member of a group and its storage space is
available for use.
Using the CMC GUI to Configure the Array
The Dell Chassis Management Console (CMC) GUI enables you to configure a PS-M4110 array that is housed
within the PowerEdge M1000e Blade Enclosure without having to connect serial cables to the front of the PS
Series storage blade. You can configure the array from any computer or console that has network access to the
CMC.
Refer to the Chassis Management Console documentation that was supplied with your system for full
information about using the CMC GUI. In particular, see the latest
Dell Chassis Management Controller User's
Guide .
To use the CMC GUI to configure a PS-M4110 array:
1. Log in to a computer or console that has network access to the Dell Chassis Management Console (CMC) in
the PowerEdge M1000e Blade Enclosure.
2. Start the CMC GUI. See the latest Dell Chassis Management Controller User's Guide at support.dell.com
