Adding storage systems

If you know the host name or IP address of a storage system, you can add a storage system by using the Add a System dialog box. You can add storage systems that are in a high-availability (HA) configuration.

Before you begin

Your storage systems must be running a supported version of Data ONTAP.

About this task

If you are adding one of the storage systems from an HA pair, the partner node is automatically added to the list of managed systems. If a high-availability partner node is down, you can add the working storage node.

Steps

1.	From the Home tab, click Add.

2.	Type the fully qualified DNS host name, or the IP address of the storage system.

3.	Click the drop-down icon next to "More".

4.	Select how the storage system is discovered and added:

•

SNMP:

Specify the SNMP community and SNMP version.

•	Credentials:

Specify the user name and password.

5.	Click Add.

Result

The storage system or the HA pair that you added is included in the list of managed systems.
