To protect the storage array resources, the storage array needs to be added and registered with the Data Manager Appliance. You must enable the Storage Arrays asset source from the Data Manager UI before adding and registering the storage arrays with Data Manager. The storage array data protection service is not enabled by default. To initiate the service in Data Manager, go to Infrastructure > Asset Sources. On the Asset Sources window, click Enable Source in the Storage Arrays box.
