processor (SVP) user name used to onboard a storage system in Storage
Advisor has access to all custom resource groups and meta resource groups.
If a storage array includes block storage and NAS modules, the file storage is
automatically added with the block storage. Then file pools and other file
resources can be created in the Storage Advisor web interface or by using the
API.
Storage Advisor also supports onboarding of 4-node clusters, which is a
requirement for GAD Enhanced for NAS.
You can add multiple VSP Gx00 or VSP Fx00 storage systems at once by
specifying an SVP IP address that has multiple storage systems. Storage
systems with different credentials cannot be added in the same operation.
Procedure
1. On the Storage Advisor dashboard, click the plus sign (+) to add a
storage system.
2. Enter values for the following parameters on the Add Storage System
page.
• SVP IP Address: Enter the IP address of the external service
processor for the storage system you want to discover.
• User name and password: Log in as a user that has administrator
privileges on this storage system. For example, you can log in as the
user maintenance.
3. Click Submit.
4. (Optional) Onboard other storage systems.
Result
The Jobs tab is updated with the job called Create Storage System. If
multiple storage systems are being added, there will be a job for each one.
Wait a while for the storage system to be added. Refresh the Jobs tab to
verify that storage system is onboarded.
When you successfully add a 4-node cluster, a message displays requesting
that you ensure both storage systems in the global-active device pair are
added before performing operations.
Next steps
• Verify the storage system initial settings.
• Create parity groups.
Note: Parity groups are created by a service representative. Parity
groups for a Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1000, VSP G1500, or
VSP F1500 storage system are created outside of Storage Advisor.
