Array Management
Arrays are easy to install and manage. Consolidation of storage, backup, automatic failover, reusable schedules based on application usage, and application integration are combined with clean, intuitive management interfaces that improve the ease of administration. Use one of the following interfaces to manage array features:
| Management Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Services Cloud Console |
An application running on the HPE Cloud that lets you manage storage resources regardless of where those resources are deployed. The Data Services Cloud Console is supported on HPE Alletra 6000 arrays when you have a valid subscription. The array registers with Data Services Cloud Console automatically when initialized. Data Services Cloud Console is also supported with HPE Storage Flash Arrays with valid subscriptions. You must manually enable the connection between the array and Data Services Cloud Console. NOTE: Data Services Cloud Console is supported with HPE Flash Arrays
running array OS 6.0.0.300 or later. The supported models
include AF20, AF20Q, AF40, AF60, AF80, HF20, HF20H, HF20C,
HF40, HF40C, HF60, and HF60C.
Both HPE Alletra 6000 arrays and HPE Storage Flash Arrays require that you set up a cloud account before you configure the array for DSCC. For more information, see the Installation Guide for HPE Alletra 6000, which is available on the HPE Alletra, Nimble Storage documentation portal on HPE InfoSight. |
