Please take time to review the HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide to become familiar
with the available commands and features.
On first login to the VMA SAN Gateway, you will be prompted if you want to run the setup wizard. It
is recommended to use the setup wizard at this time so that you can enter key configuration
parameters required before you can begin using the VMA SAN Gateway with connected VMA-series
Memory Arrays. The setup wizard guides you through entering configuration settings for such things
as:
• VMA SAN Gateway IP address
• Ethernet interface to use
• DNS server IP address
• Site domain name
• Changing the default Gateway Hostname
• Setting a password
• Setting the Time and Time source
• E-mail notification settings
Chapter 2 of the HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide (document number
AM456-9025A) provides guidance for setting up the software configuration of the VMA SAN
Gateway. You can re-run the setup wizard at a later time by using the command
configuration
jump-start.
Note that the title of Chapter 2, Configuring and Managing Clusters, in the HP VMA SAN Gateway
Installation and User Guide is somewhat misleading. The VMA SAN Gateway operating environment
has the ability to configure gateways in a master and secondary(s) relationship to provide for single
point of management and monitoring of all member nodes. This ‘cluster’ feature, termed as vCLUSTER
in the document, is only applicable to gateway management and monitoring functions and does not
provide for high availability or redundant gateway configurations for access to connected VMA
arrays.
