Configuring the NetApp E-Series/LSI Storage Array Using Array Management

For IntelliSnap backups from Commvault software, add the NetApp E-Series / LSI storage array and its configuration information to the CommServe database.

Before You Begin

Ensure that proxy computers are configured and have access to the storage device by adding a temporary LUN to the host using the Storage Management Console.

1. On the ribbon in the CommCell Console, click the Storage tab, and then click Array Management.

   The Array Management dialog box appears.

2. Click Add.

   The Array Properties dialog box appears.

3. On the General tab, specify the following information:

   1. From the Snap Vendor list, select NetApp E-Series/LSI.

      The Storage Subsystem World Wide Identifier (WWID) is the serial number.

   3. In the Control Host box, enter the name of the server computer where the SMI-S server is installed.
