Initially Configuring a vmPRO Appliance

When you first access your vmPRO appliance's GUI, the QuantumvmPROConfigurationWizard

guides you through the setup of your appliance. The following task provides a road map for navigating this

wizard. Refer to individual topics for detailed instructions on configuring each component of your

vmPRO appliance.

Initially configure your vmPRO appliance using the Quantum vmPRO

Configuration Wizard

1. Log in to your vmPRO GUI. See Accessing the vmPRO GUI.

The first time you log in to your vmPRO GUI, the EndUserLicenseAgreement dialog box displays.

2. Click IAgree to agree to the vmPRO licensing terms.

After you agree to the licensing terms, the QuantumvmPROConfigurationWizard displays. If the

vCenter server to manage ESX servers, OR you can select one or more standalone ESX servers.

You cannot manage both a vCenter server and ESX servers directly from your appliance. If the

configuration includes a VSAN datastore, select the single vCenter server.
