Add Clusters

Introduction

Before Superna Disaster Recovery can perform monitoring, failover readiness checks, or recovery operations, your storage clusters must be added to the Eyeglass interface. This page explains how to register VAST, Qumulo, and Pure FlashBlade clusters as managed devices.

Once added, these clusters become visible in the inventory and are available for Disaster Recovery workflows such as configuration, readiness validation, and failover execution.
