Viewing MDM Device Status
When your NAS system is configured as an MDM device, you can use the NAS Manager to track the status of the system.
To view the status of an MDM device, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click MDM.
The MDM Agent Status page displays the following information:
Require Certificate — Yes indicates that the system is operating in certificate mode. No indicates that the
system is operating in trust mode.
Certificate — Indicates whether the certificate is installed.
Controller — Displays the host name of the last controller to take control of the system.
Using the MDM Controller to Administer NAS Devices
The NAS Manager's MDM feature allows you to collectively administer several NAS devices in a data center. MDM also allows
you to automate routine processes such as adding users and querying systems for status information.
From the NAS Manager Controller tab, you can run a job, view alerts and job history, take or release control of individual
devices, group individual devices into sets, and administer multiple devices.
Creating and Using MDM Sets
Use the Create Sets option from the NAS Manager Controller tab to create and manage sets and to administer individual
devices contained in sets. The Create Sets option displays an Object/Task Selector that simultaneously lists up to 100 sets
that can be sorted by selecting a column heading. You can also create or delete sets, modify set properties, or run a job on
one or more sets.
To create a new set, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Controller.
3. Click Create Sets.
4. In the Tasks list, click New.
5. Type a name and description for the new set.
6. Select the members for the new set from the Devices or Existing sets list.
7. Click OK.
Controlling MDM Devices
Use the Control Devices option from the NAS Manager Controller tab to create or delete device records, group devices into
sets, take or release control of devices, modify device properties, or run jobs on one or more devices.
