Managing Remote Systems

maxView Storage Manager has a wizard to help you manage the remote systems in your storage space.
The wizard simplifies the process of connecting to remote systems from the local system and adding
them to the Enterprise View.
When you start maxView Storage Manager, an "auto-discovery" task runs in the background, continuously
searching your network for systems running the maxView Storage Manager Agent. The wizard presents
a list of discovered systems (see figure below). You can select systems to add to the Enterprise View
when you start maxView Storage Manager; add systems manually if they are not discovered automatically;
and remove systems that you no longer want to manage.

Adding Remote Systems with the Wizard

For basic instructions for adding remote systems with the wizard, see
from the Local System on page 38. Once you add a system in the wizard, it automatically appears in the
Enterprise View each time you start maxView Storage Manager. You can work with a remote system's
controllers, disk drives, and logical drives as if they were part of your local system.
Note: The wizard adds all selected systems to the Enterprise view even if login fails
on some systems. For those systems, try running the wizard again with different login
credentials.

Manually Adding a Remote System

You can add a remote system manually if auto-discovery fails to find the system on your network.
To manually add a remote system:
1. On the ribbon, in the Home group, click Add System.
