Explanation:
Install the XMS Server
Install the Storage Controllers
Initialize the Cluster Services
Configure ESRS
Generate an XtremIO Log Bundle
* Install the XMS Server: The XtremIO Management Server (XMS) must be installed first, as it is the central management point for the XtremIO storage array.
* Install the Storage Controllers: After setting up the XMS, the next step is to install the storage controllers, which are the main components of the XtremIO array responsible for handling data operations.
* Initialize the Cluster Services: Once the storage controllers are installed, you need to initialize the cluster services to configure and prepare the storage array for operation.
* Configure ESRS (EMC Secure Remote Services): After the cluster services are initialized, configure ESRS for remote support and monitoring, ensuring that the system can be supported remotely by Dell EMC.
* Generate an XtremIO Log Bundle: Finally, generate an XtremIO log bundle for initial diagnostics and baseline information. This step ensures that all necessary logs are collected and can be reviewed if needed.
