If you used the Remote Setup Wizard to create a group, that group displays in the PS Group Access window. You can add more groups or delete groups as needed. Group access settings can be specified for the following purposes: • Allow ASM/ME access to one or more PS Series groups for creating and managing Smart Copies, among other functions • VDS and VSS CHAP settings enable these services to access a PS Series group • Smart Copy access can enable the local computer to access Smart Copies created on other computers • PowerShell/SMP access can authenticate PowerShell and SMP access to the group. SMP access replaces VDS access for the Windows Server 2012 and later operating systems • (Optional) Enable single sign-on (SSO) to the group Before setting these properties, CHAP must be configured on the PS Series group, either locally or on an external RADIUS authentication server. For information about configuring CHAP on the PS Series group, see the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrator's Guide. PS Group Access Settings The PS Group Access panel enables you to configure settings for the PS Series groups that store the volumes and Smart Copies used by your applications.
