Initialize the storage system
Run the Storage System Initialization Utility on the host
After the storage system is fully powered up for the first time, you must run the
initialization utility to set management network parameters for the storage system so
that you can manage it over the LAN.
1. Before continuing, make sure that the storage system is powered up, that each SP
power light (rear of enclosure) is steady green, and that no amber lights are
blinking.
2. Start the initialization utility. From the toolbar, select
Start > Programs > EMC > Navisphere > Navisphere Storage System
Initialization
3. After you read and accept the license agreement, the utility automatically scans
the subnet for storage systems. When the discovery operation is complete, the
utility lists all uninitialized and initialized CLARiiON storage systems that it
found. Uninitialized systems are identified by hardware serial number.
On a CX3-40c storage system, the hardware serial number (TLA S/N) is located on a blue vertical
label on the far left side of the chassis behind the front bezel (front panel), as shown below. To
remove the front bezel, unlock it, and then press the latches on its front sides and pull the bezel
toward you.
If the discovery operation did not find the storage system that you are installing, verify that the
storage system’s management ports are properly cabled to the LAN on which the host resides. The
storage system and host must both reside on the same subnet.
4. From the Uninitialized Systems list, select the serial number of the storage
system to initialize and click Next.
5. Use your completed worksheets to provide all the information the utility requests.
When finished, the utility will reboot the storage system.
