Managing Agents Using Central Agent Admin › How the Arcserve Backup Central Agent Admin Works

How the Arcserve Backup Central Agent Admin Works

The Central Agent Admin is a central utility that manages the agent machine and lets you view agent logs and event logs, set debug level registry entries for one or more agents, and configure agent options. Using the Central Agent Admin, you can also perform basic node management tasks such as modifying agents. You can add or modify node security information without opening the Backup Manager. The Central Agent Admin also lets you perform Node Tier configuration and Agent Deployment.

The Central Agent Admin is part of the Arcserve Manager. You can open the Central Agent Admin from the Administration menu or from the Arcserve home page.

Note: The old Agent Admin will still be installed with Client Agents and be used for local configuration with same functions as before.

When you start the Central Agent Admin, it retrieves the information for all registered agent nodes and displays these agents in a tree view. The supported agents installed in that machine display when you expand the agent node. You can also view the agent properties and configuration information from the registry of the remote agent machine in the top and bottom right-hand panes.

Note: The Central Agent Admin currently supports the Client Agents, the Agent for Open Files, the Agent for SQL Server, the Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server, the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Server, and the Agent for Oracle.
