Selecting partnership model for customers
By default, your customers use the same storage that is available to your company. You can set a partnership model for each of your customers individually:
- Log in to the Management Console under a SuperUser account
- In the Management section of the vertical menu, click Customers to open the Customer Management window
- Find the customer from the list
- Either click the three vertical dots from the Customers list on the left-hand pane or scroll to the right and click the three vertical dots to open the Action menu
- Click Edit customer
- Choose an appropriate value from the Service type list ("Software-only" or "All-inclusive")
The changes will take effect within the next 30 minutes.
Selecting storage pool for device
When you add a new backup device, you can select a storage pool for it. Choose Any if you want the device to use all storage pools available to the customer.
To find out which storage pool an existing device is assigned to, use the Cloud Management Console (Legacy).
- Right-click the device and choose Statistics from the context menu
- Click Show storage nodes
