Running initial setup
After you log in to Spectrum Control Base, the program invokes a setup wizard to facilitate with the initial configuration.

Follow the procedure below to complete the initial setup process, which is run automatically after the first successful login. This procedure is mandatory for subsequent storage provisioning, using Spectrum Control Base.
Note: This operation is not available from the CLI .

- Define credentials to be used to connect to the IBM storage systems. For detailed description
of storage system credentials, see Entering the storage system credentials. Important: An identical storage admin user account with identical credentials (the same username and password) must already be predefined on all the IBM storage systems that you intend to use. Spectrum Control Base can use only a single system management account for accessing all the different storage systems that you use. For storage systems, running Spectrum Virtualize, ensure that the credentials belong to a user account with VASAProvider role, if you intend to use VVols. For non-VVol applications, you can use the Administrator role.
