• In-band management—Enter a name or an IP address for the Host
through which the storage array is attached to the network.
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 87.
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 271.

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.
