Adding a sensor control node

Edit online

This section helps you to add a sensor control node.

Before you begin

Note: Before you can register the sensor control node, you must install the sensor control software on the sensor control node. For more information, see Installing the sensor control software.

Procedure

To add a sensor control node to the connection manager, complete the following steps:
  1. Log in to the IBM® Storage Defender®.
  2. Navigate to Data Resiliency > Connections > Connection managers.
  3. Click the appropriate Connection manager and navigate to Sensor control nodes. In the table that lists all the sensor control nodes, scroll to the sensor control node of interest.
  4. Click Add control node. This action opens a dialog box.
  5. In the dialog box, enter the FQDN of the sensor control node.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Enter the username that is defined when you installed the sensor control software on the sensor control node.
    Important: Multiple sensor control nodes can use the same username and password for sensor installation or registration. In this case, only one control node needs to be added through the steps listed above. If you attempt to add more than one control node using the same username, the following error will occur in the UI:

    Error getting source native ID: User name already in use. Please select a different user name.

  8. Enter the password of the user.
  9. Click Add.
