Automatic discovery is not supported on Windows host. You must add Postgresql cluster resources manually.

Before you begin

  • You must have completed tasks such as installing the SnapCenter Server, adding hosts, and setting up storage system connections.

About this task

Automatic discovery is not supported for the following configurations:

  • RDM and VMDK layouts

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, select the SnapCenter Plug-in for Postgresql from the drop-down list, and then click Resources.

  2. In the Resources page, click Add Postgresql resources.

  3. In the Provide Resource Details page, perform the following actions:

    For this field…​ Do this…​

    Name

    Specify the cluster name.

    Host Name

    Enter the host name.

    Type

    Select cluster.

    Instance

    Specify the name of the instance, which is the parent of the cluster.

    Credentials

    Select the credentials or add information for the credential.

    This is optional.

  4. In the Provide Storage Footprint page, select a storage type and choose one or more volumes, LUNs, and qtrees, and then click Save.

    Optional: You can click the add policy from resourcegroup icon to add more volumes, LUNs, and qtrees from other storage systems.

  5. Optional: In the Resource Settings page, for resources on the Windows host, enter custom key-value pairs for PostgreSQL plug-in

  6. Review the summary, and then click Finish.

    The clusters are displayed along with information such as the host name, associated resource groups and policies, and overall status

If you want to provide users access to resources, you must assign the resources to the users. This enables users to perform the actions for which they have permissions on the assets that are assigned to them.

Add a user or group and assign role and assets

After you finish

  • After adding the clusters, you can modify the PostgreSQL cluster details.

  • The migrated resources (tablespace and clusters) from SnapCenter 5.0 will be tagged as PostgreSQL cluster type in SnapCenter 6.0.

  • When you modify the manually added resources that are migrated from SnapCenter 5.0 or below, do the following in the Resource Settings page for custom key value pairs:

    • Specify the term "PORT" in the Name field.

    • Specify the port number in the Value field.
