Initial SME Configuration

Note For information about what you need to do before you initially configure SME, see the “Required Preconfiguration Tasks”.

Complete the SME configuration tasks on the switch with an installed Cisco MSM-18/4 module or on a Cisco MDS 9222i switch.

These basic configuration tasks provide an overview of the basic SME configuration process:

• Create the SME interface (“Configuring the SME Interface Using the GUI”)

• Create a cluster for SME (“Configuring SME Cluster Management Using the GUI”)

• Add the interfaces to the cluster (“Configuring SME Cluster Management Using the GUI”)

• Create a tape group (including selecting the backup server and discovering backup libraries)
