Set Up a localhost from Initial Setup

Configure a localhost to access block-level storage on the Storage Center. It is recommended that you perform this procedure for each host that is connected to the Storage Center.

Prerequisites

  • Client must be running on a system with a 64-bit operating system.
  • The Dell Storage Manager Client must be run by a Dell Storage Manager Client user with the Administrator privilege.
  • The Storage Center must be added to Dell Storage Manager using a Storage Center user with the Administrator or Volume Manager privilege.
  • On a Storage Center with Fibre Channel IO ports, configure the Fibre Channel zoning.

Steps

  1. On the Configuration Complete page of the Discover and Configure Storage Center wizard, click Configure this host to access a Storage Center.
    The Set up localhost on Storage Center wizard appears.
  2. Click Next.
    • If the Storage Center has iSCSI ports and the host is not connected to an iSCSI interface, the Log into Storage Center via iSCSI page appears. Select the target fault domains, and then click Next.
    • In all other cases, the Verify localhost Information page appears.
  3. Select an available port, and then click Next. The server definition is created on the Storage Center.
    The Host Setup Successful page displays the best practices that were set by the wizard and best practices that were not set. Make a note of any best practices that were not set. It is recommended that these updates be applied manually before starting I/O to the Storage Center.
  4. (Optional) To create a volume after finishing host setup, select the Launch wizard to create a volume for this host checkbox.
  5. Click Finish.
