====== QoE Stor server connection ======
{{indexmenu_n>6}}

You can connect one or more QoE Stor servers for SSH management. You may need to connect multiple QoE Stor servers if you are setting up a cluster of QoE Stor servers.

To set up a connection, follow these steps:

  - Connect to the server (where QoE Stor is installed) via SSH. Add a sudo user on this hardware. See [[dpi:dpi_components:dpiui:user_guide:admin_section:equipment_management:sudo_user:start|sudo user]].
  - In the GUI, open the [[dpi:dpi_components:dpiui:user_guide:admin_section:start|Administrator]] / [[dpi:dpi_components:dpiui:user_guide:admin_section:equipment_management:list:start|Equipment]] section, add new equipment. Select Hardware Type - QoE Stor. See [[dpi:dpi_components:dpiui:user_guide:admin_section:equipment_management:list:start|Add (connect) new server]].

Don't forget to add an HTTP connection to QoE Stor. See section GUI Configuration. If you have a cluster of QoE Stor servers, an HTTP connection must be configured to the Master server of the cluster.
