Configuring the Dell PowerStore Storage Array using Arrays Page

For IntelliSnap backups from the Commvault software, add the Dell PowerStore storage array and configuration information to the CommServe database.

Verify that the credentials that you are going to use have the administrator role privilege or the storage administrator role privilege.
