Configuring the system with the configuration wizard
The protection system provides two wizards: a DD System Manager configuration wizard and a Command Line Interface
(CLI) configuration wizard. The configuration wizards guide you through a simplified configuration of your system to get your
protection system operating quickly.
About this task
After you complete the basic configuration with a wizard, you can use additional configuration controls in DD System Manager
and the CLI to further configure your system.
NOTE:
The following procedure describes how to start and run the DD System Manager configuration wizard after the
initial configuration of your protection system. For instructions on running the configuration wizards at system startup, see
the
Installation Guide
for your system model.
NOTE:
To configure your system for HA, use the CLI Configuration Wizard. For more information, see the
Installation Guide
for the HA-capable system.
