Administrator Guide

Add a Storage Center
Add a Storage Center to Storage Manager to manage and monitor the Storage Center from the Storage Manager Client.
Prerequisites
• You must have the username and password for a Storage Center user account.
• The first 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 then 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 the Storage
Manager Data Collector. 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 certificate must contain the hostname or management IP address that is used to add the Storage Center to
Storage Manager.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view.
2. In the Storage pane, select Storage Centers.
3. In the Summary tab, click Add Storage Center. The Add Storage Center wizard opens.
• If one or more Storage Centers are mapped to another user, the dialog box displays a list of available Storage Centers.
