Dell Storage Manager 2020 R1 Administrator's Guide

Add a PS Series Group

Add a PS Series group to Dell Storage Manager to manage and monitor the PS Series group from the Dell Storage Manager Client.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the user name and password for a PS Series group account.
  • The Storage Manager Data Collector must have connectivity to the PS Series group management interface.
  • A Storage Manager administrator cannot add the same PS Group that was already added by another administrator. However, a Storage Manager administrator can map that PS Group to his or her Dell Storage Manager account using the Data Collector.

    Workaround: On a Windows installation, you can copy PS Group mappings to additional users from the Data Collector Users & User Groups tab. No workaround exists for the Data Collector Virtual Appliance.

Steps

  1. Click the Storage view.
  2. In the Storage pane, select the PS Groups node.
  3. In the Summary tab, click Add PS Group. The Add PS Group wizard opens.
  4. (Optional) Create a folder for the PS Series group.
    1. Click Create Folder.
    2. In the Name field, type a name for the folder.
    3. In the Parent field, select the PS Groups node or a parent folder.
    4. Click OK.
  5. Enter PS Series group login information.
    • Hostname or IP Address – Type the group or management IP address of the PS Series group.
      NOTE:Do not type the member IP address in this field.
    • User Name and Password – Type the user name and password for a PS Series group user account.
    • Folder – Select the PS Groups node or the folder to which to add the PS Series group.
    NOTE:If you specify a PS Series group user account with Pool administrator or Volume administrator permissions, access to the PS Series group from Dell Storage Manager is restricted based on the PS Series group user account permissions. You cannot add a PS Series group to Dell Storage Manager using a user account with read-only account permissions.
