132 Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1
5.1  Normal operations by using the GUI
This section describes useful tasks that use the GUI that help administrators to manage, 
monitor, and configure the IBM Storwize V7000 as quickly as possible. For example, we 
configure the IBM Storwize V7000 in a standard topology.
The GUI is a built-in software component within the IBM Spectrum Virtualize software.
Multiple users can be logged in to the GUI at any time. However, no locking mechanism 
exists, so be aware that if two users change the same object at the same time, the last action 
that is entered from the GUI is the action that takes effect.
IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2 brings some small improvements and feature changes to the 
Storwize V7000 GUI, following on from the major GUI redesign that occurred in V8.1. This 
chapter highlights these additions and limitations when compared with the previous version of 
V8.1.
5.1.1  Access to GUI
To access the IBM Storwize V7000 GUI, enter into the address line of your web browser the 
IP address that was set during the initial setup process. You can connect from any 
workstation that can communicate with the system. The login window opens (see Figure 5-1).

Important: Data entries that are made through the GUI are case-sensitive. 
You must enable Java Script in your browser. For Mozilla Firefox, Java Script is enabled by 
default and requires no other configuration steps. For more information, see these 
instructions at IBM Knowledge Center.
