Registering storage systems

This module describes how to register storage systems.

About registering a storage system

Registering a storage system enables you to monitor and manage storage resources, such as volumes,

parity groups, THP pools, and external storage connections. Information about a storage system can

be changed after the storage system is registered.

When you specify an IP address and authentication information for a storage system in the network,

the storage system is discovered based on the specified information. The registered storage systems

can be used as resources.

Prerequisites for registering a storage system

Before registering a storage system, verify the following:

• Target storage system is connected to the network.

• Target storage system type (device type).

• Target storage system IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or host name.

• User name and password of the storage system for Password Protection or Account Authentication

(mid-range storage systems).

• User name and password of the storage management tool such as Remote Web Console (HP

P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200) . If you have a different storage

system, then use your user name and password for Account Authentication or Password Protection.
