Adding an application host

Application hosts are source types that can be used for data storage. The storage system uses the connection manager to establish a connection with the Data Resiliency Service.

Procedure

To add an application host as a source type, complete the following steps:
  1. On the Application hosts page, click Add application host. This action opens the Add source wizard.
  2. On the Connection manager tab, select a connection manager of your interest from the table, and then click Next.
    Tip: You can see more details of the selected connection manager such as state, number of sources registered, and location of the connection manager.
    Note: Only connection managers that are connected to Data Resiliency Service are active.
  3. On the Source type tab, select the application host source type, and then click Next.
    Note: Before you select, you must have a dedicated user role to access the source with the required permissions and desired level of access.
  4. On the Connection details tab, provide the details of the selected source type, and then click Next.
    • For VMware source type, enter the hostname or IP address of the source in the Host name or IP address field and then click Check certificate to verify the certificate.
  5. On the Credential tab, select an existing credential from the table. Alternatively, click Create credential to create a new credential.
  6. Click Save.
    On the Application hosts page, the source type that you added is displayed in the table with additional information.
