As a third method, you can install the Discovery Utility application on a supported Microsoft Windows or Linux host for remote discovery and configuration. After the Discovery Utility is installed, open the application as shown in Figure 1. When the PowerStore system has been discovered, step through the HTML5 based Initial Configuration Wizard to complete configuration.
For more information about PowerStore system and network setup before running the Discovery Utility, see the white paper Dell PowerStore: Introduction to the Platform.

When the PowerStore system is connected properly to the network and the network is configured correctly, you can click Scan appliances in the PowerStore Discovery Utility. Doing this action automatically scans the network for available PowerStore systems, both unconfigured and configured. If the appliance is not discovered successfully, try the steps that are listed in Figure 1, such as temporarily disabling wireless networks, security applications, and firewalls. Figure 2 shows an example of discovered unconfigured appliance.
After one or more appliances are selected, a Create Cluster button appears in the bottom right of the tool as shown in Figure 3. Click this button to start the process of creating a new cluster or add to an existing cluster using the selected appliances.
A notification message states that you will be leaving the discovery tool and that PowerStore Manager will launch in a browser window. An example is shown in the following figure.
