addresses. If you do not know the IP addresses of the controllers or the controller does not have an IP address, see 8
Select IP settings on page 85 for information on how to set up IP addresses.
•
Dynamic discovery of controllers - allows the server to automatically discover all controllers that share its
subnet.
•
iHosts file (default) - only the IP addresses of the controllers that are listed in the iHosts file will be discovered.
See 3.7 Editing the iHosts File on page 52.
Note:
If a controller is connected to a host with both Fibre Channel and Ethernet (TCP/IP) connections, the Ethernet
connection takes precedence and the Fibre Channel connection is not used.

Click OK or press the Enter key. The new server appears in the navigation area.
Notes:
•
When you log onto a server, your access is based on the user group in which you belong. To view or change
security options, you must be connected to that server.
•
If you are using the dynamic discovery feature over a large network that contains numerous controller-based
storage subsystems, the Spheras Storage Director interface may take a long time before the screen allows input
from the user. Some of the reasons for the long delay include busy controllers and the available bandwidth on
the network.

Deleting a Server
3.4.3
Deleting a server, results in loss of the ability to manage any controllers that are visible to that server. Deleting a server
also removes it from any server groups of which the server is part. Data that resides on the server is not affected; only
the ability to manage controllers that are visible from the server is affected.
