To prepare for the initialization of the array, verify the following requirements have been met:
FLARE Operating Environment (OE) software version 03.22.xxx or higher installed on the storage
system. Note that the CX3-20f model requires version 03.24.xxx or higher. A card that ships with
the storage system tells you the FLARE version installed.

A server on the same subnet (physical LAN segment) as the storage systems management ports
and running one of the operating systems listed below. This server may also be a server with Fibre
Channel connections to the storage system.
VMware ESX Server
HP-UX
Linux
Solaris
Windows 2000
Windows Server 2003
