Adding Unmanaged Nodes

About this task

It is best practice to keep all your nodes up to date with the latest version of IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server or IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint. Verify the machine's product version with the administrator of the node.

Procedure

Go to Nodes. Click List Unmanaged Nodes.
Click New Unmanaged Node.
Enter the node's Address (IP or domain name) and Name.

Note: Console does not send notifications when an unmanaged node is using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) instead of an IP address if the transfer is started by IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server. Console still sends notifications for transfers started by Console.
Select the default endpoint type from the drop-down menu.
You can still change the endpoint type when you add an endpoint to this node.
Configure SSH.
Enter the SSH Port number and select the SSH Encryption method from the drop-down menu.
Click Create when finished.
To verify that your new node has been created, select List Unmanaged Nodes and look for your unmanaged node in the table.

Results

A connection should be established between Console and your unmanaged node. To edit or remove a node, go to Nodes and click List Managed Nodes for a list of managed nodes. Click edit or delete for the designated node.
