Complete the Initial Setup Using the Nimble Setup Manager
The HPE Nimble Storage Setup Manager (NSM) enables you to create a new group from an uninitialized
array. The array is the only member of the group.
The configuration options provided by the array web GUI depend on the network protocol being used. If it
detects that an array is using iSCSI, it provides a set of configuration options specific to iSCSI; if it detects
that Fibre Channel is being used, it provides a set of configuration options specific to Fibre Channel.
Note A newly plugged-in array might not appear immediately on the array details page of the GUI. It might
take up to five (5) minutes to update the page. Refresh the browser to see the array on the page immediately
after you plug it in.
Before you begin
The Windows host that you use to initially configure the array must be connected to the same physical subnet
as the array management port and have direct (non-routed) access to the array management port.
The Windows host must have the following software installed:
• .NET Framework 4.5.2 or above
• Nimble Windows Toolkit
Before you start, complete the

Caution If you have multiple unconfigured arrays and you plan to add them to the same group, configure
only one array now. Later, add the remaining arrays to the group. For information about how to add an array
to a group, refer to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide.
Note Subnet and VLAN configuration are separate actions. VLANs are not supported during setup.
Procedure

Note If the array is not visible in Nimble Setup Manager, verify that the array is on the same subnet as
the Windows host.
3 In the Information dialog, click OK.
Clicking OK closes the Nimble Setup Manager, and continues the setup on the array through your web
browser.
