6.3 Editing Cloud Storage System Details - From Discovery

Updated on

The term "Cloud Storage System" represents a Cloud based storage resource (example: AWS Storage).
At times storage system details may need to be “edited” in order to make the storage system easier to identify.

To update the desired storage system details from the Discovery screen and enable it to be available for jobs perform the following steps:

In this example, starting from the Discovery - Cloud storage screen (title outlined in blue), the storage system details for "Local Host S3" (outlined in green) will be revised to add additional information.
