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.
