Configuring product storage
Complete the connection to the Core by choosing Storage > Storage Edge Configuration on the Edge Management Console, specifying the Core IP address, and defining the Edge Identifier (among other settings). You need the following information to configure Edge storage:
• Hostname/IP address of the Core.
• Edge Identifier. This value is used on the Core-side configuration for mapping exports to specific Edge appliances. The Core identifier is case sensitive.
• Self-Identifier. If you configure failover, both appliances must use the same self-identifier. In this case, you can use a value that represents the group of appliances.
• Port number of the Core. The default port is 7970.
• The interface for the current Edge to use when connecting with the Core.
• The virtual IP address of the Edge server. This setting also requires you to specify the network interface to use and the subnet mask.
