Grid Setup Procedure

The first step for most new deployments is to create a management Grid so that you can manage all of your QuantaStor servers from any QuantaStor WebUI. You can create a management Grid by right-clicking on the Storage System icon in the tree stack view in the Web Management user interface (WUI) and choose 'Create Grid...'.

After you create the grid you'll need to add your other appliances to the grid by right-clicking on the Grid icon and choosing 'Add Grid Node...' from the menu. It will ask for the IP address and password for the appliance to be added to the grid and once they're all added you'll be able to manage all the nodes from a single login to the WUI.

Be aware that the management user accounts across the appliances will be merged. In the event that there are duplicate user accounts the user accounts on the then elected primary/master node in the grid take precedence.

At this point your Grid should be setup and you should see all the appliance nodes via the WUI. If not please double check the configuration and/or contact support for more assistance.
