Discover multiple storage arrays

You discover multiple arrays to detect all storage arrays across the subnet where the management server resides and to automatically add the discovered arrays to your management domain.

Perform the following steps to discover multiple arrays.

  1. Enter network address
    You enter a network address range to search across the local sub-network. Any storage array successfully reached appears on the Discover page and might be added to your management domain.
  2. Resolve self-signed certificates during discovery
    As part of the discovery process, the system verifies that the storage arrays are using certificates by a trusted source.
  3. Resolve untrusted certificates during discovery
    Untrusted certificates occur when a storage array attempts to establish a secure connection to ThinkSystem SAN Manager , but the connection fails to confirm as secure. During the array discovery process, you can resolve untrusted certificates by importing a certificate authority (CA) certificate (or CA-signed certificate) that has been issued by a trusted third party.
  4. Provide passwords
    You must enter the passwords for the storage arrays that you want to add to your management domain.
