Manage Remote Users

The Manage Remote Users page allows you to create and manage remote users for use with OST Automatic Image Replication (AIR). You must configure at least one remote user before you can enable Automatic Image Replication for an LSU (see Adding an LSU). When using OST Automatic Image Replication (AIR), the remote user credentials specified on the source DXi must match the local user credentials on the target (remote) DXi .

To access the Manage Remote Users page, on the OST page, click the Manage Remote Users tab (see Figure 1).
