Configure a storage system to manage storage using Ops Center Administrator.
Note: Ops Center Administrator retrieves and displays any resources that already exist in the storage system.
Complete the following to configure a storage system:
- Set port security: Port security must be enabled for a host storage domain (HSD) to be created on the port. If port security is disabled, Ops Center Administrator does not select the port for HSD creation. If the user manually selects the port with security disabled, the host group is created.
- For Fibre/Fibre with SCSI mode ports or iSCSI ports, enable port security to use the provisioning functions of Ops Center Administrator.
- For Fibre with NVMe mode ports, disable port security to use the provisioning functions of Ops Center Administrator.
- Create parity groups so you can create pools.
- Create pools so you can create volumes.
The following workflow shows what you need to do before using the provisioning functions with a Fibre port in Ops Center Administrator.
