Procedure
To do the initial setup of your system, use the management GUI to complete the following high-level
tasks.
1. Use a web browser to open:
https://your_management_IP
2. Log in to the management GUI for the first time by using ID
superuser
and password
passw0rd
.
After you log in, the initial setup wizard helps you get started.
Use the information on your worksheets to inform your inputs.
a) Choose and create a new password.
b) Configure licensed functions.
• If encryption was purchased, you can activate it now or later by opening the management GUI
and selecting Settings > Security > Encryption.
• The base license entitles Storwize V5100 2077-424 to all licensed functions such as
Virtualization, FlashCopy
®
, Global Mirroring, and Metro Mirroring. (Real-Time Compression is not
supported.)
You need an External Virtualization license for storage that is not Storwize V5100 . This license is
based on a per capacity unit of metric. Because subcapacity licensing applies, the amount of
storage FlashCopy or Remote Mirror licenses does not always match the quantity of externally
virtualized storage licenses.
c) If you already use IBM Storage Insights, log in to Storage Insights, select Add Storage System and
register the new system by using the IP address.
Important: If you do not use IBM Storage Insights, you were registered during the initial system
setup. When your Storage Insights interface is ready to use, you receive an email notification. IBM
®
Storage Insights is an IBM Cloud
®™
software as a service offering that can help you monitor and
optimize the storage resources in the system and across your data center.
d) If errors exist, you are prompted to resolve them.
e) Review the system summary page, then click Finish.
The Initial Setup Wizard closes.
3. If there is more than one control enclosure for your system, go to Monitoring > System > System--
Overview and click Add Enclosure.
Add Enclosure is shown only when a candidate control enclosure exists.
4. Use the System update page of the management GUI to check whether software updates are
available for this system. Use the management GUI to help you install any updates.
During the automatic update process, each node canister in the system is updated one at a time. After
all the nodes in the system are successfully restarted with the new code level, the new level is
automatically committed.
5. Start the wizard to configure drives and pools.
6. Referring to the Call Home and Storage Insights configuration worksheet, use the following URL to
register the new system:
https://call-home.w3ibm.mybluemix.net/activate
7. If you activated an encryption license, click Enable Encryption to complete the encryption setup
wizard.
8. If exactly two control enclosures are in the system, you must set up a quorum disk or application
outside of the system. If the two control enclosures lose communication with each other, the quorum
disk prevents both I/O groups from going offline. For more information, see the "Configuring quorum"
topic in the IBM Knowledge Center.
Results
You completed the initial setup of your system as the final part of installation.
