Adding a client to the NetVault Server

To use a client in a backup or restore operation, you must first add the client to the NetVault Server. You can use the configuration wizard to add and configure a NetVault Client.

To add a client to the NetVault Server:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients, and then click Add Client.
On Linux-based machines, you can also start the wizard from the Guided Configuration link. In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Clients.

If the client is password-protected, type the NetVault password for the client. You can also provide the root or administrator password for the client.
If a NetVault password is not set for the client, provide the root or administrator password for the client.
Click Next.
This page is not displayed if security is disabled on the client. For more information, see Configuring security settings.

To add multiple clients to a NetVault Server:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, select the Install Software/Add Clients option.
