Update Nodes

You can update information that is related to the existing nodes. You can update the node anytime. Some of the situations when you need to update a node are as follows:

• A new product is installed on the node after the node was registered with Arcserve UDP.
• The user name or password of the node was updated after the node was registered with Arcserve UDP.

Note: If a node acts as both recovery point server and agent, and you change the credentials or protocol of that node, then update the node from the Destinations: Recovery Point Server page. The plan will automatically deploy to the agent after you update the recovery point server. If you update the node from the Nodes: All Nodes page, then the plans involving those nodes are not deployed successfully. To deploy the plan, update the node from the Destinations: Recovery Point Server page again.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the resources tab.

• Right-click the node name.
