Running the Initial (Array) Setup wizard
After you complete the Add Array wizard at initial log in, the Initial (Array) 
Setup wizard starts automatically.
Using this wizard, you can configure:
• E-mail alerts — see page 4-8
• Management ports — see page 4-9
• Host ports — see page 4-10
• Spare drives — see page 4-13
• System date and time — see page 4-13
Initially, an introduction page lists the tasks you complete using this wizard. 
Click Next > to continue to the Search Array window (see Figure 4-4 on 
page 4-8 and Table 4-2 on page 4-8) and begin the configuration. Use the 
navigation buttons at the bottom of each window to move forward or 
backward, cancel the wizard, and obtain online help.
The following sections describe the Initial (Array) Setup wizard windows.
NOTE:To change these settings in the future, run the wizard manually by 
clicking the name of a storage system under the Array Name column in 
the Arrays window and then clicking Initial Setup in the Common Array 
Tasks menu.

Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring email alerts
The Set up E-mail Alert window is the first window in the Initial (Setup) 
Array wizard. Using this window, you can configure the storage system to 
send email notifications if an error occurs. By default, email notifications are 
disabled. To accept this setting, click Next and skip to Initial Array (Setup) 
wizard — configuring management ports on page 4-9.
To enable email alerts
1. Complete the fields in Figure 4-4 (see Table 4-2).
2. Click Next and go to Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring 
management ports on page 4-9.

NOTE:This procedure assumes your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) 
server is set up correctly to handle email. If desired, you can send a test 
message to confirm that email notifications will work.

Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring management ports
The Set up Management Ports window lets you configure the management 
ports on the Hitachi storage system. These are the ports you use to manage 
the system using Navigator 2. 
To configure the management ports
1. Complete the fields in Figure 4-5 (see Table 4-3).
2. Click Next and go to Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring host 
ports on page 4-10. 
Figure 4-5:  Set up Management Ports Window
NOTE:If your management console is directly connected to a management 
port on one controller, enter settings for that controller only (you will 
configure the management port on the other controller later). If your 
console is connected via a switch or hub, enter settings for both controllers 
now.
Table 4-3:  Set up Management Ports Window 
FieldDescription
IPv4/IPv6 Select the IP addressing method you want to use. For more 
information about IPv6, see Using Internet Protocol Version 
6 on page 10-2.
Use  DHCP Configures the management port automatically, but requires 
a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server. IPv6 users: 
note that IPv6 addresses are based on Ethernet addresses. 
If you replace the storage system, the IP address changes. 
Therefore, you can want to assign static IP addresses to the 
storage system using the Set Manually option instead of 
having them auto-assigned by a DHCP server.

Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring host ports
The Set up Host Ports window lets you configure the host data ports on the 
Hitachi storage system. The fields in this window vary, depending on 
whether the host ports on the Hitachi storage system are Fibre Channel or 
iSCSI. 
To configure the host data ports using the Initial Array wizard
1. Perform one of the following steps:
•  To configure the Fibre Channel host ports, complete the fields in 
Figure 4-6 on page 4-11 (see Table 4-4  on  page 4-11).
•  To configure iSCSI host ports, complete the fields in Figure 4-5  on 
page 4-9 (see Table 4-5  on  page 4-12).
2. Click Next and go to Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring spare 
drives on page 4-13.
Set Manually Lets you complete the remaining fields to configure the 
management port manually.
IPv4 Address Static Internet Protocol address that matches the subnet 
where the storage system will be used.
IPv4 Subnet Mask Subnet mask that matches the subnet where the storage 
system will be used.
IPv4 Default Gateway Default gateway that matches the gateway where the 
storage system will be used.
Negotiation Use the default setting (Auto) to auto-negotiate speed and 
duplex mode, or select a fixed speed/duplex combination.

Transfer Rate Select a fixed data transfer rate from the drop-down list that 
corresponds to the maximum transfer rate supported by the device 
connected to the storage system, such as the server or switch.
Topology Select the topology in which the port will participate:
• Point-to-Point = port will be used with a Fibre Channel 
switch.
• Loop = port is directly connected to the Fibre Channel port 
of an HBA installed in a server.

Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for the storage system iSCSI host 
port.
Default Gateway If a router is required for the storage system host port to 
reach the initiator(s), the default gateway must have the IP 
address of that router. In a network that requires a router 
between the storage system and the initiator, enter the 
routers IP address. In a network that uses only direct 
connection, or a switch between the storage system and the 
initiator(s), no entry is required.

Initial Array (Setup) wizard — configuring spare drives
Using the Set up Spare Drive window, you can select a spare drive from the 
available drives. If a drive in a RAID group fails, the Hitachi storage system 
automatically uses the spare drive you select here. The spare drive must be 
the same type, for example, Serial Attached Technology Attachment 
(SATA), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), or Solid State Disk (SSD), as the failed 
drive and have the same capacity as or higher capacity than the failed drive. 
When you finish, click Next and go to Initial Array (Setup) wizard —
