The MD3000i Configuration Utility has an option to Automatically detect
MD3000i arrays in the subnet. It will take quite some time in a large
network, but it should work. The utility is available on version 1.4 or
later of the MD3000i resource CD.


1. Start MD3000i Configuration Utility. (Run 'MDconfig.sh' if you are in
Linux.)
2. Select "Configure MD3000i" and Click Next.
3. To discover available storage arrays choose "Discover New Arrays" and
click Next.
4. To perform an automatic discovery of storage arrays within the local
subnet choose "Automatic" and click next.
5. Follow trouch the wizard to configure your MD3000i.
