The IBM IP Storage is configured and managed through the Web-based Administrative Console. You can access this console through a Web browser, either Netscape or Internet Explorer. An Internet connection from the Administrative Console to the Internet is recommended. If you have an Internet connection, the browser must connect to the Internet directly rather than through a proxy server. Because the appliance is headless, configuration must be completed from another machine, known as the management workstation.
Before the IBM IP Storage can be fully functional as an iSCSI server, you must complete a set of required configuration tasks using the Administrative Console. Refer to the initial configuration section in the IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Installation Guide for instructions.
