Managing VDS/VSS access

Use this action to configure the Microsoft VDS/VSS host list for the management services in your SAN storage system. Only hosts in the VDS/VSS host list can perform provisioning operations through the management service, such as creating volumes and snapshots. Each management service can have a different host list.

Note: Normally, you do not need to add hosts to the host list. The Adaptec Storage Manager installer updates the host list when it installs the VDS/VSS providers. However, you must add hosts to the list if you are using third-party VDS provisioning tools or any VSS requesters. For more information, see your Microsoft VDS/VSS documentation.

To configure the VDS/VSS host list:

  1. In the Enterprise view, click (management service) that you want to configure.
  2. Right click management service actions Manage VDS/VSS access. The "VDS/VSS Access" window opens.
  3. Click ; the "Enable VDS/VSS Access from this host" window opens. Then, add hosts to the host list.


    Note: To remove a host from the host list, click .

  4. Repeat step 3 to add another host to the host list.
  5. Click OK.
