How to Add Nodes to the Console

A node refers to a physical or virtual source machine on hypervisors that you want to protect. You can protect a node by backing up data to a destination. Arcserve Unified Data Protection lets you add the following types of nodes:

• Windows
• Linux
• Virtual machines in VMware ESX/vCenter and Microsoft Hyper-V servers

You can add nodes by manually specifying the node details, discovering from an active directory, or importing from a file and hypervisors.

Note: You can also add nodes while creating a plan.
