To add a Device, follow these steps:

1. Click the ‘Admin’ tab in the OpStor client.

2. Select ‘Manage Storage Devices’ option.

3. Enter the IP address of the new device.

4. Several options are listed for managing the device. Please follow the instructions below to choose appropriate option. Refer to device specific discovery prerequisite document as well before adding a device for discovery.

1. None : Choose this option always unless otherwise specified in prerequisite document. This will take default parameters for device discovery.

2. SNMP: Choose this option if your device SNMP settings are different from 161 port and 'public' community.

3. CLI : Choose this option if your device is managed via CLI by OpStor as specified in prerequisite document. Provide username/password parameters for loggin purpose.

4. Proxy : Choose this option if your device is managed by OpStor by using opstor-proxy as specified in prerequisite document. Provide Proxy IP address.
