This article takes you through the process of standard configuration of the Lepide Data Security Platform for Dell PowerScale. Please note that this was formerly called EMC Isilon and this product is still supported by Lepide.

• After you have installed the Solution and configured the Lepide service to run with administrative credentials, you can add an Dell PowerScale File Server for auditing.

• From the Component Management window, under the Add Component section, click on the File Server icon to add this component to the solution.

• The File Server Settings Console dialog box is displayed:

• Here, you can click Add File Server icon on the toolbar to add either of the following file servers:
