Unisphere Storage System Initialization Wizard 1.1

Unisphere Storage System Initialization Wizard is a guided setup tool that streamlines the first-time configuration of compatible enterprise storage arrays. It walks administrators through essential steps to bring a new system online quickly and safely, applying best‑practice defaults while allowing granular control where needed. The wizard reduces time to value, minimizes configuration errors, and produces an auditable record of the choices made during setup.

Key capabilities:

• Hardware discovery and readiness checks to verify enclosure, disk, and controller status before configuration
• Network and security setup, including management IPs, VLANs, DNS/NTP, TLS, admin password updates, and optional syslog/call‑home
• Storage provisioning workflows to create pools, RAID layouts, and initial LUNs/volumes and file systems
• Protocol enablement for SAN and NAS (e.g., iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NFS/SMB) with basic access controls
• Data services initialization such as snapshots, thin provisioning, and optional replication setup
• Preflight validation with clear warnings and a summarized change plan before applying settings
• Post‑configuration health checks and a downloadable configuration report for audit and handover

Who it’s for:

• Storage and virtualization administrators who need a fast, low‑risk path to initial array deployment
• IT teams standardizing bring‑up procedures across multiple sites or systems

Notes:

• Requires administrative privileges and a supported browser if accessed via a web interface
• Feature availability may vary by array model and licensed options
