TECHNIQUES FOR OPERATING A DATA STORAGE ASSEMBLY VIA A SERIES OF WEB PAGES AND A COMMIT-AT-THE-END, WIZARD-STYLE BEHAVIOR

A technique of operating a data storage assembly involves providing a series of web pages to a web browser and buffering a set of potential configuration settings from the web browser. The web browser is controlled by a user. The series of web pages details operational aspects of the data storage assembly. The set of potential configuration settings is arranged to direct future operation of the data storage assembly. The technique further includes receiving a commit command from the web browser after the set of potential configuration settings has been buffered. The technique further includes committing, in response to the commit command, a set of configuration changes on the data storage assembly based on the set of potential configuration settings to provide the user with a commit-at-the-end, wizard-style configuration behavior through the web browser.
