Registering SAN storage on the management server
- Click Settings > SAN storage.
- Click Add storage.
-
[Optional] In Name, change the storage name.
This name will be displayed on the SAN storage tab.
-
In Host name or IP address, specify the NetApp Storage Virtual Machine (SVM, also known as a filer) that was specified when creating the datastore.
To find the required information in VMware vSphere Web Client, select the datastore, and then click Configure > Device backing. The host name or IP address is displayed in the Server field.
-
In User name and Password, specify the SVM administrator credentials.
The specified account must be a local administrator on the SVM, rather than entire NetApp system management administrator.
You can specify an existing user or create a new one. To create a new user, in the NetApp OnCommand System Manager, navigate to Configuration > Security > Users, and then create a new user.
- Select one or more Agent for VMware (Windows) which will be given the read permission for the SAN device.
- Click Add.
