Starting the PA Storage Monitor Console

To start the PA Storage Monitor Console

2. Do one of the following:
   • Select the Local Host option to connect to the monitoring service on the same computer.
   • Select the Remote Host option to connect to the host on a remote computer. Enter the remote host name, port number, user name, and password.
     
     Note: Remote access must previously have been configured in Settings > Remote Access.
