Add XIV storage systems to get performance and asset, capacity, and configuration metadata analyzed so that you can detect performance issues, changes in storage usage, and plan for future storage needs.

Use the following information to add storage systems so that they can be monitored and that metadata can be collected, analyzed, and presented in the GUI.

Host names or IP addresses: The host names or IP addresses that are used to connect to the storage systems. Use host names if your IP addresses change regularly. Depending on what is supported in your environment, you can enter an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) or IPv6 address. If you enter an IPv6 address, the preferred representation is written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. Example: 2001:DB95:0000:1234:0000:0000:5678:ABCD.
User Name and Password: The user that you add must have a Monitor role or a role that includes monitoring privileges.; Tip: Why not create a dedicated user account to manage the monitoring of your storage systems more efficiently? So, instead of using an existing user account, create a new user account to connect to and collect metadata from your storage resources.
