Manual addition of storage array

Use manual addition if the storage array resides outside of the local subnet. This process requires specific identification information to manually add a storage array.

To add a storage array that uses out-of-band management, specify the host name or management port IP address of each controller in the storage array.

To add an in-band storage array, add the host through which the storage array is attached to the network.

NOTE: It can take several minutes for the MD Storage Manager to connect to the specified storage array.

To add a storage array manually:

  1. In the EMW, select Edit > Add Storage Array.
  2. Select the relevant management method:
    • Out-of-band management—Enter a DNS/Network name, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address for the RAID Controller Module in the storage array.
    • In-band management—Enter a name or a DNS/Network name, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address for the Host through which the storage array is attached to the network.
      NOTE: When adding a storage array using in-band management with iSCSI, a session must first be established between the initiator on the host server and the storage array. For more information, see Using iSCSI.
      NOTE: The host agent must be restarted before in-band management communication can be established. See Starting Or Restarting The Host Context Agent Software.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Use one of these methods to name a storage array:
    • In the EMW, select the Setup tab, and select Name/Rename Storage Arrays.
    • In the AMW, select the Setup tab, and select Rename Storage Array.
    • In the EMW, right-click the icon corresponding to the array and select Rename.
