Computer Access To A Group
You can use the Remote Setup Wizard to enable Windows computer access to a Dell EqualLogic PS Series group. You
can also use the wizard to modify existing group access information on a computer (for example, if the group IP address
changed).
NOTE: When you create a group using the Remote Setup Wizard, computer access to the group is automatically
configured. This section applies only if you used Remote Setup Wizard on a different computer to create the group,
or created the group through the serial cable instead of Remote Setup Wizard.
When you use the Remote Setup Wizard to enable computer access to a group, the wizard performs the following:
1. Configures the group IP address as an iSCSI target discovery address. This enables the computer to discover
volumes and snapshots (iSCSI targets) in the group.
2. Stores the CHAP user name and password that allow Microsoft services (VDS or VSS) access to the group.
Enabling Computer Access To A Group

the CHAP user name and password that matches the VSS/VDS access control record and local CHAP account
already configured in the group.
