Register a Windows-Based Server

Register the Storage Manager Server Agent on a Windows server to manage it on the Servers view.

1. Click the Servers view.
2. Select the Servers folder in the Servers pane.
3. In the right pane, click Register Server and select Add Windows Server Agent. The Register Server dialog box appears.
4. Enter the host name or IP address of a Windows server in the Host or IP Address field.
   NOTE:If the server is a member of a server cluster, enter the host name or IP address of a server, not a server cluster.
5. Enter the port number of the socket listening port on the Server Agent in the Port field.
6. Configure automatic management settings for the Storage Center(s) to which the server is connected.
   • To automatically create and manage the server on the Storage Center(s), select the Auto Manage Storage Centers check box.
   • To automatically create and manage virtual machines hosted by the server on the Storage Center(s), select Auto Manage Virtual Machines On Storage Centers.
     NOTE:If the server has physical iSCSI HBAs, Dell Storage Manager may not automatically recognize the WWNs for the server. In this situation, configure the iSCSI HBA(s) to target the Storage Center, create a server on the Storage Center, then manually map the Storage Center server to the Server Agent.
7. Select a parent folder for the server in the Folder navigation tree.
8. Click OK.
