Page description As shown in Figure 1, the interface includes five tabs, each of which is documented in detail in a separate section in this guide. Figure 1 SMU display - showing the five tabs • View-For viewing detailed configuration and status information. (For more information, see "View" on page 19".) • Configure-For initially configuring a system, entering new information, or changing existing settings. (For more information, see "Configure" on page 25.) • Wizards-For initially configuring a simple system. (For more information, see "Wizards" on page 69".) • Diagnose-For generating an XML-formatted diagnostic report. (For more information, see "Diagnose" on page 77".) • Update-For updating MSA controller and module firmware. (For more information see "Update" on page 79.) Initial configuration methods The SMU provides two methods to initially configure your system: • The Wizard tab-includes the Initial System Configuration Wizard, which is the easiest and simplest method for initially configuring the storage system. You are prompted in a logical sequence for storage, iSCSI, logon, and management settings. The wizard then uses those settings to configure the storage and make it available to the initiator. This configuration method is best for single-server environments needing bulk storage, because one target is created, and is assigned to one initiator. For information about using the wizard, see "Wizards" on page 69. • The Configure tab-offers more flexibility than the wizard when configuring the storage. This configuration method is best for multi-server environments that need to customize the creation of storage LUNs and targets. For information about using the Configure tab, see "Configure" on page 25. 14 Overview
