Enrolling for software downloads
Before you can access updated software for the storage system, you
must enroll the storage system for software downloads. We recommend
that you do this registration now. If you did this as the last step in the
initialization utility, you can skip this section.
You will need the same storage-system hardware product ID/serial
number (TLA S/N) that you used to initialize the storage system.
If you purchased the storage system directly from EMC Corporation,
register it on the EMC Online Support website .
1. Log in to EMC Online Support .
2. From the Home page in the navigator pane, search for the link to
register VNX system.
3. Enter the required information and click Submit .
If you did not purchase your storage system directly from EMC
Corporation, please contact your vendor for instructions on how to
enroll the storage system for software downloads.

Initializing and registering your VNX

Initializing the storage system
After the storage system is fully powered up for the first time, use the
Unisphere Storage System Initialization Utility to initialize the storage
system. Initialization sets the network parameters for storage-system
management and creates a management user account for the storage
system so you can manage it over the LAN.
Before you start
To complete this procedure, you will need:
❑ The management port and login information in the Plan network
connections section of the system install guide that shipped with
your system. This information includes:
z
A static IP address for each storage processor in the system (for
example, ).
z
The IPv6 global prefix and gateway for each SP if your network
supports the IPv6 Internet Protocol and you want to manually
configure IPv6 for the management ports.
z
The subnet mask of the LAN to which the system is connected.
z
The default gateway address of the LAN to which the system
is connected.
