Introduction to HPE StoreOnce Gen4 Federations

[sbhat09]

HPE StoreOnce Gen4 systems offer federation feature. StoreOnce Federations allow you to manage multiple StoreOnce Systems from a single system. 

The managing system in a federation is called the federation lead system, and the other systems in the federation are called member systems. 

Lead systems: When logged in to a lead system, you can manage not only that system, but you can also manage any other member systems in the federation. For example, from the lead system you can create StoreOnce Catalyst stores on any member systems in the federation. 

The Federation Dashboard screen on a lead system displays the following aggregated information about the federation: 

• Total number of StoreOnce Systems in the federation 
• Software version of the StoreOnce Systems 
• StoreOnce Catalyst stores created 
• The overall storage utilization 

Member systems: When logged in to a member system, you can manage the system as usual. However, you cannot manage other systems in the federation from a member system. 

The Federation Dashboard on a member system indicates that the system is part of federation and displays the IP address of the federation lead. The dashboard does not display aggregated information about the federation.
