Configuration Wizards
The Configuration Wizards provide guided assistance for setting up the DXi9000 Series. 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 |
|---|---|
|
NAS |
Helps you configure the system as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) appliance. NAS shares can be added using CIFS/SMB or NFS protocols. See NAS Wizard. Note: CIFS/SMB is supported for Veeam NAS shares, but NFS is preferred as it is in more common. |
| Application Specific | Helps you add and configure shares as application-specific Oracle RMAN or AccentFS shares. See Application-Specific Shares Wizard. |
