Each VAST Cluster that you want to manage via Uplink must be registered via its local VMS. You can register the cluster only after an Uplink subdomain is registered for your organization.
Prerequisites
A manager user for the cluster's on-premises VMS.
An Uplink super user.
The firewall on the cluster's network must be configured to allow outbound connections to *.cloud.vastdata.com on port 443. This is needed to allow the cluster to report to Uplink and to send callhomes.
Steps
Log into the cluster's on-premises VMS VAST Web UI.
In the left navigation menu, select Settings -> Call Home -> Cloud.
In the Cloud pane, enter your Uplink subdomain in the field provided. Enter the exact value registered for you by VASTVAST Data Support into the Subdomain field.
If you have registered for Uplink, you will find the API domain and API key fields pre-filled.
Click Cloud Registration.
In the Cloud Registration dialog, enter your Uplink super user's email and password in the fields provided and click Register.
VMS contacts Uplink and establishes the cluster's ability to log in and report. When cloud reporting is enabled, the Enabled option is automatically toggled on.
The cluster's dashboard card is now visible from Uplink. Within a short time, the card begins to update regularly.
