PowerVault is managed through the Network ports on the back of the appliance. Controller A and controller B each have a network port for redundancy.
These ports provide connectivity through several protocols and storage methods such as a web interface (HTTPS), and CLI.
PowerVault Manager is the integrated HTTPS web UI that is accessible through either network port.
Most storage management functions for a Horizon VDI environment can be done through the PowerVault Manager. Some advanced functions may require use of the CLI.
PowerVault Manager is used for day-to-day management tasks, monitoring, and storage alerting. Automated notification can be configured for remote alerting as well.
