  • You must have a user ID and password authorized to log in to the maintenance console of the Unified Manager server.

  • You must have the Cluster Management IP address, the name of the storage VM, the name of the volume, LUN name, and the storage system user name and password.

  • You must have mounted the volume as a network drive to the Active IQ Unified Manager host, and you must have the mount drive.
