First time storage configuration - required tasks
Setting up storage on an AMS 2100/2300 array is actually very easy.
Navigator 2 includes a set of wizards that guide you through the two initial
tasks to add arrays and set them up. In addition, a set of simple dialog
boxes is included to guide you through the procedure to map the storage on
the array to a host so that the host can manage the storage assigned to it.
These procedures are explained below.
Adding arrays to Navigator 2
Whenever Navigator 2 is launched, after you log in, Navigator 2 loads into
memory (this may take several seconds). It then automatically searches the
Navigator 2 database for any arrays listed there, and then displays the
Arrays window (also called the Array List Window).
If there are arrays listed in the database, Navigator 2 displays them in the
Array List window. If there are no arrays listed in the database, Navigator 2
automatically launches the Add Array wizard. Therefore, when Navigator
2 is first installed and launched, it automatically launches the Add Array
wizard.
NOTE: If the wizard does not launch, ensure that your browser's pop-up
blockers are disabled. Then click Add Array at the bottom of the Array List
window to launch the Add Array wizard.
Using the Add Array Wizard
The Add Array wizard guides you through the steps to discover existing
arrays (within a range of IP addresses you set) on the storage network, and
add the arrays you select from the list of arrays to the Navigator 2 database.
It contains four screens, as described below. Click the links to see the
detailed explanation of each page in the wizard.

is used when searching a storage network for arrays. Click Next to continue
