Add a Client Agent

To add a new Client Agent:

1. Enter the name of the computer in the Host Name text box.

   Note: If you are adding a Arcserve Backup Client Agent for NetWare, you MUST use the Novell server name as the host name.

2. Select the protocol you want to use to connect to the computer:

   Select the Use Computer Name Resolution check box. This is the recommended method, and it works even if you do not know the computer's IP address.

   Note: If the target computer has a dynamic IP address, then you must use Computer Name Resolution.

   There are some situations in which you might have to enter an IP address instead:

   Computer Name Resolution fails--If Computer Name Resolution fails, you must enter the computer's IP address. Computer Name Resolution may fail due to various DNS server or network configuration issues.

   Target computer has multiple IP addresses--If the target computer has multiple network cards (and therefore multiple IP addresses), Arcserve Backup will use the first IP address that the computer returns. To be certain that a specific address is used, enter it in the text boxes provided.

3. Click Add.
