2. Click the PS Group Access tab. 3. Click Add PS Group. 4. In the Group Settings panel, enter the group name and IP address in the fields. 5.

Press F1 to view online help for any of these dialog boxes. To restore settings to their current saved state, click Discard. VSS/VDS Settings On the PS Group Access panel, the VSS/VDS settings enable you to configure the VSS and VDS services on which ASM/ME depends to function properly. VDS and VSS services running on a computer must be able to automatically access a PS Series group. A VSS/VDS access control record must exist in the group, and the computer's VSS/VDS access control credentials must match the credentials on the PS Series group. CHAP credentials are typically specified for VSS/VDS access. If you used the Remote Setup Wizard to create a group or set up computer access to the group, VSS/VDS access between the computer and group is already set up. If VDS/VSS access is not configured, the VDS/VSS access node displays a warning icon (yellow triangle). When configured, the icon changes to a green check mark. See the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrator's Guide for information about setting up VSS/VDS access control records. Configure VSS/VDS Access Settings for the Local Host In a cluster, these settings must be configured on each cluster node that access the PS Series group. 1. In the navigation area, click Settings. 2. Click the PS Group Access tab. 3. Select the relevant group and click VDS/VSS access. 4. Enter the relevant VDS/VSS access credentials and click Save. Press F1 to view online help for any of these dialog boxes. To restore settings to their current saved state, click Discard. Smart Copy Access On the PS Group Access panel, the Smart Copy Access settings enable you to configure hosts to access Smart Copies created on a different host. When a local host imports a Smart Copy created on a different host, the local host must automatically present the appropriate credentials required for accessing the imported Smart Copy. In this case, you should specify the Global CHAP credentials that were configured on the originating computer. Configure Smart Copy Access If you manage multiple hosts, to make the same changes to multiple hosts, multiselect the hosts in the middle panel. The changes affect all selected hosts. 1. In the navigation area, click Settings. 2. Click the PS Group Access tab. 3. Select the relevant group and click Smart Copy access. 4. Specify the relevant Smart Copy access credentials and click Save. Press F1 to view online help for any of these dialog boxes. To restore settings to their current saved state, click Discard. PowerShell and SMP Access On the PS Group Access panel, the PowerShell/SMP Access settings enable you to configure access to a PS Series group to: • Use the PowerShell tools with a particular PS Series group. The PowerShell cmdlets use different credentials from those that ASM/ME uses. You must configure PowerShell/SMP access if you want to use the PowerShell tools. • Use ASM/ME with a host running Windows Server 2012 or later • Enable single sign-on (SSO) to a group 26 Configure ASM/ME
