Define peer management console (real-time only)

Use this page to identify and establish a connection with a secondary management console (peer) for the storage complex associated with the primary management console (MC).

Introduction

You can define a new storage complex if you are connected to a network. The userIDs and passwords for the primary and secondary management consoles must be the same. You must be an administrator to view this page.

Note: When using peer MCs, if either of the consoles fails, no changes can be made to user accounts until the peer-to-peer relationship is restored.
