Managing Synology NAS

The Synology NAS storage system can be automatically discovered by eG Enterprise. Therefore, administrators can either auto-discover the target storage system in their environment or manually add the storage system.

To manage the storage systems that are automatically discovered, follow the steps below:

1. Login to the eG admin interface.
2. If the component is yet to be discovered, then, run discovery (Infrastructure -> Components -> Discovery).
3. To manage an already discovered component, follow the menu sequence: Infrastructure -> Components -> Manage/Unmanage/Delete.

4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 clearly illustrate the process of managing a Synology NAS storage system.
