    Click on back and re-check if any inconsistency is left in putting the IP address or subnet mask ...

    Thnx

    Did you try to disable Firewall and Viruscheck?

    Do you have IPv4 and v6 both on your system, if yes you may need to disable one.

    There is a Knowledgebase Articel but i guess you are better looking at opening a Service Request....

    another thing is to try it from another Computer ( eg. Win 7 )

    You can also refer the installation guide docu50169_VNX5200-Block-Installation-Guide from support.emc.com.

    Just re-check it :

    Management Station A Windows-based computer to run the initialization, maintenance, and management

    tools with:

    • Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 800 and 256 colors

    • At least 500 MB of free space

    • Connection on same LAN subnet as your system if you will use it to initialize the system

    • Windows Domain Controller recommended

    • SMTP server network connection to the VNX5200 and the management host

    • JRE*

    • Browser* (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox)

    *Supported versions are listed in the release notes. (For ie it is 8)

    Thanks
