The process of adding a Managed Server to the backup operation is carried out using Web Console.
The required steps for adding a Managed Server are described below.
Register a Managed Server. For more information, refer to "3.4.3 Registering a Managed Server".
Fetch all the information on the devices connected to the newly added Managed Server. For more information on this, refer to "3.4.4 Fetching device information on a Managed Server".
Set the environment information for the Managed Server. For more information on this, refer to "3.4.5 Configuring the environment for a backup operation server".
Set the operation type for the device for which information has been fetched in step 2. For more information on this, refer to "3.4.6 Setting the operation type for a device".
Configure a backup policy for all the transaction volumes registered in step 4. For more information on this, refer to "3.4.7 Setting a backup policy".
Note
System resources such as disk and memory resources may be insufficient when a Managed Server is added. Re-estimate the system resource requirements before adding a Managed Server.
Refer to "Required resources for operation" in "Operating environment of ETERNUS SF Manager" in the ETERNUS SF Installation and Setup Guide for details.
There may not be sufficient area available for updating the repository when a Managed Server is added. Check if the area required when updating the repository is available before adding the Managed Server. If there is insufficient area, free an area, then add the Managed Server.
Refer to step 2 of "11.2.3 Troubleshooting: Failure in accessing a repository database" for details on checking the required area.
The repository (directory for the DB space that stores repository data) may be too small when a Managed Server is added. Re-estimate the repository size before adding a Managed Server. Refer to "Estimation of database size" in the ETERNUS SF Installation and Setup Guide for details.
If the estimation result is less than 65 megabytes, the size does not need to be increased. If it is more than 65 megabytes, extend the size before adding a Managed Server. Refer to "11.2.1 Troubleshooting: Insufficient free space in a repository" for details.
