PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 File System Agent User Guide

Discover a file system host

Perform the following steps to discover a file system host as an asset source in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

1. Select Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
   The Asset Sources window appears.
2. Select the App/File System Host tab.
3. Select the file system host and click Discover.
   The Discover dialog appears with an option to set the discovery schedule.
4. From the Discovery Schedule list, select the time of day to initiate the discovery, or select Manual to disable scheduled discovery. You can also select Discover Now to perform the discovery upon completion of this procedure.
   NOTE From the App/File System Host tab, you can click Discover at any time if any additions or other changes to your asset sources have taken place outside of the PowerProtect Data Manager environment. Asset discovery is also initiated by default after registration of the host to PowerProtect Data Manager and at hourly intervals. Discovery time is based on networking bandwidth. Note that each time you initiate a discovery process, the resources that are discovered and those that are handling the discovery impact system performance.
5. Click Save.
