Registering SAN storage on the management server

1. Click Settings > SAN storage.
2. Click Add storage.
3. [Optional] In Name, change the storage name.

   This name will be displayed on the SAN storage tab.

4. 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.

   

5. In User name and Password, specify the SVM administrator credentials.

   Important  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.

6. Select one or more Agent for VMware (Windows) which will be given the read permission for the SAN device.
7. Click Add.
