Add storage complex (real-time only)

Use this page to add a storage complex by defining management console properties when the machines are connected to a network.

Introduction

The IP addresses ensure communication between management consoles. Any IP addresses that are listed here must be available for access on the network.

When adding a storage complex, you must use the user ID and password that was used to sign on. Each storage complex that is added must have the same sign-on information.

Menu path

Real-time manager > Manage hardware > Storage complexes > Select Action: Add Storage Complex > Go

Fields

Define Management console 1
Management console 1 IP address: The IP address to one of two possible Management consoles in the storage complex.
Define a second Management console: If this box is checked, you must enter the IP address of the second management console. Note: If you have only one address defined, then you have only one communication path to the storage complex. If that single path fails, you cannot manage the storage complex. Defining a second address provides you with a redundant management path to the storage complex.
Management console 2 IP address: Required field if the Define a second Management console box is selected. The IP address to one of two possible Management consoles in the storage complex.
