Adding and removing storage systems

To manage a storage system from the Main Console, the storage system must first be added to the Storage Systems screen in the Administrator Console.

After a storage system is removed from the Storage Systems screen in the Administrator Console, it cannot be managed from the Main Console until it is added again in the Administrator Console.

Tips:
  • Access to the HPE SSMC Administrator Console requires an HPE SSMC administrator user account.

  • To manage multiple storage systems, each connected storage system must have the same security credentials (user name and password) that are used to log in to the HPE SSMC Main Console. For more information, see the HPE SSMC Administrator Guide.

Procedure
  1. Log in to the Administrator Console. The administrator Storage Systems screen is displayed. Learn more: Logging in to the Administrator Console.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • On the Actions menu, select Add.

    • Select the storage system, and then select Remove on the Actions menu.

      Important: Removing a storage system from the list deletes all reports that have been created for the storage system.

  3. Follow the instructions on the dialog that opens.
  4. After adding a storage system, check its connection status. For a newly added storage system to appear in the Main Console, its connection status must be Connected.

    Tip:

    • When you start a new browser session to the Main Console, the newly added and connected storage systems automatically appear in the Main Console screens.

    • For existing browser sessions to the Main Console, the newly added and connected storage systems appear in the Systems filter and are automatically included in the Main Console screens. If you do not want the newly added and connected storage systems to appear in the Main Console screens, you can deselect them in the Systems filter. Learn more: Filters sidebar.
