Add a Storage Center
a. Select an existing Storage Center in the Systems list or click Add New System to add a Storage
Center.
NOTE: Replay Manager cannot auto discover IPv6 addresses. To add a new Storage Center
entry that uses an IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 address or DNS host name of the Storage
Center.
b. Enter the logon Host, User Name, and Password for the Storage Center. The user must have
Administrator or Volume Manager privileges for the Storage Center.
c. Click Add.
CAUTION: If reconfiguring a Storage Center user from an Administrator to a Volume
Manager user, restores may fail if the new Storage Center user does not have access to
the view volumes previously created by Replay Manager on the Storage Center. To ensure
the Volume Manager user can access the view volumes, either add the Replay Manager
VSS subfolders to the Volume Manger’s user group, or move the view volumes into a
folder associated with that user group.
