Adding a Storage Array to the CommServe Database

You can add a storage array into the CommServe database and configure the information for IntelliSnap backups.

Before You Begin

You can add an array without entering the credentials, but snapshot operations fail if the communication with the array cannot be established. Check whether you need to enter the credentials on the array documentation.

   The Infrastructure page appears.

2. Click the Arrays tile.

   The Add arrays page appears.

4. On the General tab, do the following:

   1. In the Snap vendor box, select a snapshot vendor.

   4. In the Username and Password boxes, type the credentials for the array.
