Configuration Wizards
The Configuration Wizards provide guided assistance for setting up the DXi4700. Use the wizards to quickly configure the most important features of the system, including storage presentation and data replication. Each wizard leads you step-by-step through the configuration process.
The Configuration Wizards page displays the first time you log on to the remote management console after completing the Getting Started wizard. After that, to access the Configuration Wizards, click Wizards on the main menu. This replaces the main menu with the Wizards menu
The Wizards menu includes the following wizards:
| Wizard | Description |
|---|---|
|
