II. After installation, perform the following steps to add devices: - Add storage
Click the gear button in the upper right corner
Select storage
Click New
Enter the device alias
Select the storage brand and model
Enter the IP address and other information of the storage, then click Save
In the storage interface, the newly added storage information will appear. Click connection Test and wait for the test to complete. The results should all be ok, indicating that the device has been successfully added.
Wait for a while for data synchronization. You can then query detailed information about the storage device, storage pool information, and storage mapping relationships in the left sidebar. It feels more intuitive than the information displayed in the storage's own management interface.
- Add FC switch
Click the gear button in the upper right corner and select SAN
Click New and enter the device alias
Select the switch brand and model
Enter the IP address and other information of the switch, then click Save
In the SAN interface, the newly added switch information will appear. Click connection Test and wait for the test to complete. The results should all be ok, indicating that the device has been successfully added.
Wait for a while for data synchronization. You can then query detailed information about the switch, such as port optical power, switch interface diagram, etc. It is very powerful.
