Using the Remote Setup Wizard to Configure the Software
The Remote Setup wizard is located on the Host Integration Tools CD-ROM and must be installed on a
Windows computer. The Host Integration Tools User Guide provides detailed information about using the full
capabilities of the Remote Setup Wizard.
To run the Remote Setup Wizard, follow these steps:
1. Use a computer that meets the requirements in Choose a Configuration Method on page 15.
2. Obtain the Host Integration Tools CD-ROM from the shipping box, or download the Host Integration Tools
kit from the support website.
3. Install the Remote Setup Wizard following the instructions in the Host Integration Tools documentation.
4. Start the Remote Setup Wizard by clicking:
Start, Programs, EqualLogic, Remote Setup Wizard
5. In the Welcome dialog box, select Initialize a PS Series array and click Next.
Note: If you cannot contact the array, check the network configuration. You may need to use the setup
utility to configure the software.
6. Select the array that you want to initialize and click
Next.
7. In the Initialize Array dialog box, enter the array configuration from Table 6 and choose to create a group or
join an existing group. Then, click
Next.
8. In the Create a New Group or Join an Existing Group dialog box, enter the group configuration from Table 7
and click
Next.
9. Click
Finish to exit the wizard.
If you added the array to an existing group, you must set the member’s RAID policy in order to use the disk
storage. Go to Set the Member RAID Policy on page 18.
If you created a new group, go to Chapter 5, Storage Allocation.
Set the Member RAID Policy
The storage space in a new group member (array) is not available until you configure a RAID policy on the
member.
A RAID policy consists of a RAID level and a spare disk configuration. When you select a RAID policy, the
member’s disks are automatically configured with the selected RAID level and the appropriate number of spare
disks.
If you used the Remote Setup Wizard to create a group, the RAID policy for the first member is set according to
your RAID policy selection when configuring the software, and the storage is ready to use. See Storage
Allocation on page 21.
