Multiple Device Management
Multiple Device Management (MDM) is a part of the NAS Manager functionality that allows you to run jobs on one or more
NAS systems simultaneously. You can use MDM to perform tasks such as adding a user or retrieving system status
information on multiple NAS systems from a single system.
NOTE: MDM is disabled by default in your NAS system.
MDM is composed of two components: a device and a controller. A device is a system that executes jobs received from a
controller and returns the job results to the controller. Jobs can be applied to individual devices or to a group of devices called
sets. The purpose of the controller is to discover other MDM-enabled devices, manage ownership of devices, and manage
jobs. To use MDM services, one of your NAS systems must be designated as a controller.
Configuring MDM on Your NAS System
From the MDM tab in the NAS Manager, use the Multiple Device Management Settings option to configure controllers and
devices and to disable MDM services.
Configuring an MDM Controller
When you configure your NAS system as an MDM controller, it becomes both a device and a controller for other MDM devices.
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click MDM.
3. Click Configure MDM.
The Multiple Device Management Settings page displays and the Configure MDM Type tab is active.
4. Select MDM Controller.
5. Click OK.
