Cloud Accounts and Arrays Using Data Services Cloud Console
To use Data Services Cloud Console, you must have a cloud account set up with HPE GreenLake
(https://common.cloud.hpe.com ). This account consists of both an HPE GreenLake user
account and an HPE GreenLake organization account. You use the cloud account to
connect with Data Services Cloud Console.
NOTE: Information about setting up a cloud account for Data Services Cloud Console can
be found in the Data Services Cloud Console
Getting Started Guide, which is available on the HPE InfoSight
documentation portal (https://infosight.hpe.com/resources/nimble/docs ). The path to this guide is .
The procedure for setting up an array with Data Services Cloud Console varies depending on whether you are using an HPE Alletra 6000 array or an HPE Flash Array with a valid subscription to Data Services Cloud Console.
HPE Alletra 6000 Series Arrays
The HPE Alletra 6000 series arrays require that you set up the cloud
account and enter the software subscription key before you initialize the array.
Doing this enables the array to automatically connect to Data Services Cloud Console. The HPE
Alletra 6000 series arrays require Data Services Cloud Console to
perform operations, such as creating a volume, pool, partner, or snapshot.
NOTE: This subscription
key was emailed to you in a Electronic Software
Delivery Receipt that included a link to Access Your Products. If you cannot locate the
key, contact support.
HPE Flash Arrays
HPE Flash Arrays that have a subscription to Data Services Cloud Console use the
array OS GUI to get the subscription key. After you perform the steps necessary to
get the GUI to retrieve the key, you must log in to the cloud account where you
manually enter the key and perform other steps necessary to enable Data Services Cloud Console.
NOTE: HPE Flash Arrays
can perform operations such as creating a volume, pool, partner, or snapshot
regardless of whether Data Services Cloud Console is enabled.
