Add Storage Centers to Storage Manager
Use the Storage Manager Client to add the Storage Centers that you want to centrally manage in the Storage Manager Data Collector.
Prerequisites
• You must have the hostname or IP address of the Storage Center.
• You must have the user name and password for a Storage Center user account.
– The rst time a Storage Center is added to the Storage Manager Data Collector, you must specify a Storage Center user account
that has the Administrator privilege. When the Storage Center is subsequently added for other Storage Manager users, you can
specify Storage Center user accounts of any privilege level.
– If your Storage Manager user account has the Reporter privilege, you must specify a Storage Center user account that has the
Reporter privilege.
• The Storage Manager Data Collector must have connectivity to the Storage Center management interface.
• The Storage Center certicate must contain the host name or management IP address that is used to add the Storage Center to
Storage Manager. For instructions on regenerating an SSL certicate, see the Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Steps
1 In the Storage Manager Client, click Add Storage Center. The Add Storage Center dialog box appears.
NOTE
: If one or more Storage Centers are associated with other Storage Manager users, the dialog box allows you to select
an existing Storage Center or add a new Storage Center.
2 Type Storage Center logon information.
• Host Name: Type the host name or IP address of a Storage Center controller. For a dual-controller Storage Center, type the IP
address or host name of the management controller.
• User Name and Password: Type the user name and password for a Storage Center user.
If you specify a Storage Center user with the Reporter or Volume Manager privilege, access to the Storage Center from Storage
Manager is restricted based on the privilege and user groups assigned to the Storage Center user.
• Folder: Select the parent folder for the Storage Center.
3 (Optional) Congure the Storage Center to use settings applied to another Storage Center by selecting the Inherit settings from
existing Storage Center check box. If this check box is selected, after the wizard closes, the Inherit Settings wizard appears.
4 Click Finish.
• If the Inherit settings from existing Storage Center check box was not selected, the Storage Center is added to Storage
Manager.
