Setup Manager for Windows on page 35.
2 If you type no, continue to Step 5 to complete the configuration.
5. Type the following information as requested. Example values are shown here.
1 Enter comma-separated list of DNS server(s): 10.64.0.13,10.64.0.14.
2 Enter NTP server name: time.ntpserver.com
3 Enter time zone: America/Los_Angeles
4 Enter subnet label for NIC eth1: management
5 Enter subnet for NIC eth1 (use slash notation, for example, 10.11.0.0/16): 10.12.0.0/16
6 Enter comma-separated list of subnet types for the subnet on NIC eth1 [management,data]: management
7 Enter MTU for the subnet on NIC eth1 [standard | jumbo | <integer>]: standard
8 Enter subnet label for NIC eth: data
9 Enter support IP address for controller A: 10.64.33.10
10 Enter support IP address for controller B: 10.64.33.11

After Installation and Initial Setup
Software Updates, Host Connection, Groups, Volumes (iSCSI and FC)
Continue your configuration by following instructions in the GUI Administration Guide or CLI Administration Guide to create
performance policies, set up connections, and complete setup in the Storage Setup Manager. HPE storage arrays support both
iSCSI and Fibre Channel protocols, and provides information for your specific host connection method to create initiator groups
and volumes. Additional configuration options include creating and managing storage pools, volume collections, snapshots,
replication strategies, security policies, and performance monitoring.
Learn about these post-installation configuration tasks in the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide.
Windows Environments
The Windows Toolkit mentioned briefly in this guide, includes features that go beyond setting up the array. The VSS requester
and the VSS hardware provider enable you to take application-consistent snapshots on an array. The Storage Connection
Manager sets up the optimum number of data connections, and finds the best data connection to use under MPIO. The Windows
Toolkit includes a DSM kernel driver that claims and aggregates data paths for the storage array.
See the Windows Integration Guide for more information.
