If this is the first time you have launched this software for a new, uninitialized EVA subsystem or an
unconfigured MSA subsystem, the installer prompts you to configure it.
2. Choose one of the following options:
•Click Yes to configure the subsystem using the Storage Deployment wizard (see Configuring a
storage subsystem on page 121).
• Depending on the type of subsystem you have, click No to either:
• Initialize an EVA subsystem. Continue with step 3.
• Ignore initialization of an MSA subsystem; it is not required. Skip to step 4
If this is not the first time you have launched this software, or if your storage subsystem is HP EVA and
you chose No in step 2, the Initialize an EVA Storage Subsystem dialog box (Figure 11) opens.
If this is not the first time you have launched this software, or if your storage subsystem is HP MSA and
you chose No in step 2, go to step 4.
NOTE: If the software detects that another server is managing your EVA storage array, a message
box asks if you want to disable that server and take over management of the EVA from this server.
Click Yes to proceed.

3. Enter a name to identify this new storage subsystem array, and then click OK to initialize the subsystem
using the default configuration. (This step is not required for MSA storage.)
4. Wait while the application discovers (detects) switches, servers, storage subsystems, and logical disks.
This may take a few minutes.
If the application detects a new, unconfigured switch in your SAN, the New Switch Setup dialog box
(Figure 12) opens.
