Unisphere and Unisphere Central 2020 R1 Administrator's Guide

Adding and Organizing Storage Centers

Adding and organizing Storage Centers can only be done using Unisphere Central connected to a Data Collector.

Note the following restrictions about Unisphere Central user accounts:

• An individual Unisphere Central user can view and manage only the Storage Centers that have been mapped to his or her account. In other words, the Storage Centers that are visible to one Unisphere Central user are not necessarily visible to another user.
• When a Unisphere Central user adds a Storage Center, he or she must provide credentials for a Storage Center user. The privilege level and user groups assigned to the Storage Center user determine the access that is allowed on the Data Collector.
• The first time you add a Storage Center to the Data Collector, you must specify a Storage Center user account that has the Administrator privilege. When you subsequently add the Storage Center for other Unisphere Central users, you can specify Storage Center user accounts of any privilege level.
• If yourUnisphere Central user account has the Reporter privilege, you must specify a Storage Center user account that has the Reporter privilege.
  NOTE A Unisphere Central Administrator can also use the Data Collector to grant Storage Center access to a Unisphere Central user with the Reporter privilege.
• Manage a Storage Center using one Data Collector only. Issues can occur if a Storage Center is managed by multiple Data Collectors.
