NOTE: When adding a storage array using in-band management with iSCSI, a session must first be established between the initiator on the host server and the storage array. For more information, see "Configuration: Using iSCSI" on page 81. NOTE: The host agent must be restarted before in-band management communication can be established. See "Starting or Restarting the Host Context Agent Software" on page 246. 3 Click Add. 4 Use one of these methods to name a storage array: • In the EMW, select the Setup tab, and select Name/Rename Storage Arrays. • In the AMW, select the Setup tab, and select Rename Storage Array. • In the EMW right-click the icon corresponding to the array and select Rename. Setting Up Your Storage Array A list of initial setup tasks is displayed on the Setup tab in the AMW. The list of initial setup tasks shows you how to set up a storage array. Using the steps outlined in the Initial Setup Tasks Area, ensures that the basic setup steps are completed properly. Use the Initial Setup Tasks list the first time that you set up a storage array to perform these tasks: • Locate the storage array-Find the physical location of the storage array on your network by turning on the unit identify LEDs. The storage array can be identified with a label. • Give a new name to the storage array-Use a unique name that identifies each storage array. • Set a storage array password-Configure the storage array with a password to protect it from unauthorized access. MDSM prompts for the password when an attempt is made to change the storage array configuration, such as when a virtual disk is created or deleted. • Configure iSCSI host ports-Configure network parameters for each iSCSI host port automatically or specify the configuration information for each iSCSI host port. 66 Configuration: About Your Storage Array
