Import Nodes from a File

CA ARCserve Central Virtual Standby lets you import multiple nodes from a file. You can import nodes from a comma-separated values text file (.txt) or a spread sheet (.CSV).

The application lets you import up to 100 nodes from a file. If the file contains more than 100 nodes, the application imports only the first 100 nodes. If you need to add more than 100 nodes, import 100 using a file and then add the remaining nodes manually.

Note: For information about how to add nodes manually, see Add Nodes by IP Address or Node Name.
