Creating your file...
Beginning with ONTAP 9.9.0, you can use System Manager to add a connection to the cloud.
You start by using NetApp Cloud Insights to configure a collector. During the configuration process, you copy a pairing code that is generated by Cloud Insights, and then you log on to a cluster using System Manager. There, you add a cloud connection using that pairing code. The rest of the process is completed in Cloud Insights.
If you choose the option to use a proxy server when adding a connection from Cloud Volumes ONTAP to Cloud Insights Service, you must ensure that the URL https://example.com is accessible from the proxy server. The message "The HTTP Proxy configuration is not valid" is displayed when https://example.com is not accessible. |
-
In Cloud Insights, during the process to configure a collector, copy the generated pairing code.
-
Using System Manager with ONTAP 9.9.0 or later, log on to the cluster.
-
Go to Cluster > Settings.
-
In the Cloud Connections section, select Add to add a connection.
-
Enter a name for the connection, and paste the pairing code in the space provided.
-
Select Add.
-
Return to Cloud Insights to complete the configuration of the collector.
For additional information about Cloud Insights, refer to Cloud Insights documentation.
