Initial Setup Using the Nimble Setup Manager

After your array has been installed in the rack and connected to your network, you must complete the initial setup of the array by configuring some basic settings to get the array running on the network.

This chapter describes using the HPE Nimble Storage Setup Manager (NSM), which has been installed on a Windows host as part of the HPE Nimble Storage Windows Toolkit, to complete the initial setup. The NSM has a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to easily complete the initial setup.

Note: If you do not have a Windows host from which to complete the initial setup, you must use the NimbleOS CLI. For more information, see Initial Setup Using the CLI.

After the initial setup is complete, refer to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide for group and volume configuration, and additional optional configuration tasks.
