Step 1: Select SERVERware Host as the installation type
A processing host is a computing resource that will attach and run VPSs from storage via SAN (Storage Area Network).
In cases where the user reinstalls the storage/controller server on which a previous configuration was performed. The installation wizard will detect the previous configuration and offer a restore option to the user.
If the user chooses to restore, the installation wizard will automatically exclude all disks used for network storage by the previous installation from the system disk selection list, in order to eliminate the possibility of overwriting the installation during installation & will restore the complete installation of the original storage and network configuration.
The reason for the installation and restoration would be when the system disk is lost/failed and replaced by a new one.

Click on Next to continue, then choose one of the options to configure the network interface.
After completing the network configuration, click Next to complete the installation. The wizard will initiate a reboot.
