Adding and Managing Source Nodes › How to Add Nodes to the Console › Add Nodes

Add Nodes

When you have the IP address or name of a node or set of nodes, you can add them to the Console by specifying their details manually. You can add the following types of nodes:

• Windows: Windows source nodes that you want to protect. Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) is installed on this node.
• Linux: Linux source nodes that you want to protect. Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is installed on the Linux Backup Server and not on the Linux source nodes.
• Linux Backup Server: Linux server that manages Linux source nodes. Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is installed on this server.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Add nodes by drop-down list, select one of the following options:

   Adding Windows Node

   

   Note: To enable the details for Arcserve Backup, select Installed.

   Adding Linux Node

   

   Notes:

   • For Linux, on selecting SSH Key Authentication, you do not need to enter username and password details. For more information about configuring the SSH Key, see Configure the Private Key and Public Key Authentication.
   • Before adding a Linux node, you must add a Linux Backup server that manages the Linux nodes.
   • You can log in to the Linux Backup Server from the Arcserve UDP Console only when you perform a restore.

   Adding Linux Backup Server Node

   

   The following dialog appears when you add Linux Backup Server node from the Backup: Agent-Based Linux task:

3. (Optional) To remove the added nodes from the list on the right pane, select the nodes and click Remove.
4. Select the nodes that you want to add and click Save.

   The nodes are added and displayed at the Nodes: All Nodes page.
