Dell Storage Manager 2020 R1 Administrator's Guide

Adding and Organizing Storage Centers

Adding and organizing Storage Centers can only be done using Dell Storage Manager connected to a Data Collector.

Note the following restrictions about Dell Storage Manager user accounts:

• An individual Dell Storage Manager user can view and manage only the Storage Centers that have been mapped to his or her account. In other words, the Storage Centers that are visible to one Dell Storage Manager user are not necessarily visible to another user.
• When a Dell Storage Manager user adds a Storage Center, he or she must provide credentials for a Storage Center user. The privilege level and user groups assigned to the Storage Center user determine the access that is allowed on the Data Collector.
• The first time you add a Storage Center to the Data Collector, you must specify a Storage Center user account that has the Administrator privilege. When you subsequently add the Storage Center for other Dell Storage Manager users, you can specify Storage Center user accounts of any privilege level.
• If yourDell Storage Manager user account has the Reporter privilege, you must specify a Storage Center user account that has the Reporter privilege.
  NOTE:A Dell Storage Manager Administrator can also use the Data Collector to grant Storage Center access to a Dell Storage Manager user with the Reporter privilege.
• Manage a Storage Center using one Data Collector only. Issues can occur if a Storage Center is managed by multiple Data Collectors.
