Use guided setup
in the PowerVault Manager Welcome panel
The Welcome panel provides options for you to quickly
set up your system by guiding you through the configuration and provisioning
process.
With guided setup, you must first configure your system settings
by accessing the System Settings panel and completing all required
options. After these options are complete, you can provision
your system by accessing the Storage Setup panel and the Host Setup
panel and completing the wizards.
The Welcome panel
also displays the health of the system. If the health of the system is degraded
or faulty, you can click System Information to access the System topic. In the System topic, you
can view information about each enclosure, including its physical
components, in front, rear, and tabular views.
If the system detects that it has only one controller, its health
shows as degraded. If you are operating the system with a single controller,
acknowledge this message in the panel.
If you installed two controllers, click System Information to diagnose the problem. If the system
health is degraded, you can still to configure and provision
the system. However, if the health of the system is bad, you cannot configure
and provision the system until you resolve the problem affecting system
health.
