Add a Storage Center
Add a Storage Center to Storage Manager to manage and monitor the Storage Center from the Dell Storage Manager Client.
Prerequisites
• You must have the user name and password for a Storage Center user account.
– The rst time a Storage Center is added to Storage Manager, 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.
NOTE: Storage Manager users with Reporter level privileges have limited access to Storage Manager. To grant a
Reporter Storage Manager user more privileges, add Storage Center mappings to that user in Storage Manager
Data Collector Manager. Only Administrator level Storage Manager users can set mapping for users.
• 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 Center Administrator’s Guide.
