Remote Setup Wizard

Remote Setup Wizard (RSW) allows you to initialize a PS Series array, either by creating a new PS Series group with the array as the first

member, or having the array join an existing group. The wizard includes links to the ASM/ME GUI that enable you to:

•

Configure PS Series group access to the computer

•

Configure MPIO settings

To install RSW, see

Installation

.

The Host Integration Tools also include the Remote Setup Command Line Interface (RSWCLI). Use the RSWCLI utility to configure PS

Series groups and MPIO settings from a command line or in scripts.

For details, see

Remote Setup Command Line Utility

.

PS Series Group Requirements for Using RSW

If you are using RSW to initialize an array, make sure the following requirements are met:

•

The uninitialized PS Series array must be running the minimum supported firmware revision. The array hardware must be installed and

a network cable must be attached to Ethernet port 0. Follow the hardware installation procedure described in the setup

documentation for your array model. You do not require a serial cable if you are using RSW, although you should keep the serial cable

for later use in case the array or group does not have network access.

•

Two options are available for connecting the array and computer to each other:

•

Connect the computer to the same Ethernet segment as the array, and make sure that Layer 2 multicasting is not blocked

between the array and the computer. This connection method is required if you want to configure computer access to a group or

configure multipath I/O between the computer and a group.

•

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to Ethernet port 0 on the uninitialized PS Series array.

Windows System Requirements for Using RSW

To use RSW, your computer must have:

•

A supported operating system and a supported version of the iSCSI Software Initiator. See the

Host Integration Tools for Microsoft

Release Notes

for information about RSW operating system support.

•

Two or more supported network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs) that are at least 1Gbps. Multipath I/O does not

utilize NICs with speeds of less than 1Gbps.
