Installing the MD Storage Software

NOTE:
For detailed instructions about installing the MD storage software, setting
up the enclosure, and the post-installation tasks, see the Deployment Guide.
The MD storage software suite consists of different modules that enable
you to configure the storage arrays. Two of the important modules are:
• MD Storage Manager (MDSM)—The MDSM application configures,
manages, and monitors the storage array. This application is the primary
tool that is used while working with the arrays.
• Modular Disk Configuration Utility—MDCU is an optional utility that
provides a consolidated approach for configuring the management ports,
iSCSI host ports, and creating sessions for the iSCSI modular disk storage
arrays. It is recommended that you use MDCU to configure iSCSI on each
host connected to the PowerVault MD36xxi as it simplifies and streamlines
the basic configuration of the storage arrays.
