Discover and Configure the Storage Center
The Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard allows you to set up a Storage Center to make it
ready for volume creation.
Use the Dell Storage Manager Client to discover and configure the Storage Center. After configuring a Storage Center, you can set
up a localhost, VMware vSphere host, or VMware vCenter host using the host setup wizards.
The storage system hardware must be installed and cabled before the Storage Center can be configured.
Locating Your Service Tag
Your storage system is identified by a unique service tag and Express Service Code.
You can find the service tag and Express Service Code on the service luggage tag located next to the front panel display.
Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this information to route
support calls to the appropriate personnel.
