Configure the D2D Node Status Report

The D2D Node status report shows the status of last backups, number of available recovery points, and operating systems on each D2D node. You view this report from the Nimsoft UMP. To add this report to the Nimsoft UMP, you must import the D2D node status.xml file. This file is part of the D2D probe zip file that you previously downloaded from the CA ARCserve D2D website.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Nimsoft Unified Management Portal (UMP) as an Administrator.
