Discover and Configure the Storage Center
The Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard allows you to set up a Storage Center to make it ready for volume creation.
Use the Dell Storage Manager Client to discover and configure the Storage Center. After configuring a Storage Center, you can set up a localhost, VMware vSphere host, or VMware vCenter host using the host setup wizards.
The storage system hardware must be installed and cabled before the Storage Center can be configured.
