As the first step to discovering storage arrays, you enter a single IP address or a range of IP addresses to search across the local sub-network.
- You must know the network IP addresses (or range of addresses) of the array controllers.
- The storage arrays must be correctly set up and configured.
The Add/Discover feature opens a wizard that guides you through the process of discovery.
- From the Manage page, select .
The Enter Network Address Range dialog box appears.
- Do one of the following:
- To discover one array, select the Discover a single storage array radio button, and then enter the IP address for one of the controllers in the storage array.
- To discover multiple storage arrays, select the Discover all storage arrays within a network range radio button, and then enter the starting network address and ending network address to search across your local sub-network.
- Click Start Discovery.
As the discovery process begins, the dialog box displays the storage arrays as they are discovered. The discovery process might take several minutes to complete.
If no manageable arrays are discovered, verify that the storage arrays are properly connected to your network and their assigned addresses are within range. Click New Discovery Parameters to return to the Add/Discover page.
- Select the checkbox next to any storage array that you want to add to your management domain.
The system performs a credential check on each array you are adding to the management domain. You might need to resolve any issues with untrusted certificates before proceeding.
- Click Next to proceed to the next step in the wizard.
