Clusters

To install the Access Explorer agent remotely for a cluster

1

Select Tools | Access Explorer Configuration.

2

Click Configure Access Explorer.

3

Open the Manage Computers tab.

4

Click New Managed Computer, and select Cluster.

5

Select the domain containing the cluster from the list.

Once the domain has been selected, the wizard numerates the clusters available in the domain.


	NOTE: If the selected cluster name is not correct, click Edit Cluster Name to assign the correct name for the rest of the process.

6

Select the cluster to be added to the managed domain and click Next.

The managed cluster has been added to the domain.

7

Select the root folders for the Access Explorer agent to scan for data and click Next.

Only the root folder is marked as selected, but all folders and files beneath the root are included in the selection.

8

Click Browse to select a server (Agent Computer) on which to install the Access Explorer agent.

9

Select a service account that has the necessary permissions to install the Access Explorer agent on the designated Agent Computer.

10

Create a schedule for when the Access Explorer agent scans the managed computer for data.


	NOTE: When selecting to Run On An Interval, it is possible to choose a frequency such that the agent is still busy completing the last scan when the next scan should start. In this case, the scan that could not start on time will be skipped and the next scan will be started as normal.

For remote agents, you must enable the Immediately scan on agent restart or scope change option if you want the agent service to scan immediately when it is added. This option is cleared by default.

11

Click Finish.

As the agent is installed, the status changes to reflect the progress of the installation. When the Status column is OK, the agent is installed. When the initial scan is complete, the Data State column displays Data Available. For information on adding an agent to the cluster, see Adding an agent to a remotely-managed computer.

Managing managed computers

You can monitor your list of managed computers easily on the Managed Computers tab.

The Managed Computer tab is organized by domain name. Next to the domain name, you can quickly see how many of the managed computers are healthy or unhealthy. An unhealthy computer is indicated by a large red dot next to the Name column. Check the Status column for an indicator of the issue causing the unhealthy status.

Table 2. Descriptions of the columns on the Managed Computer tab

The name of the computer being managed, which is the computer that the agent is scanning and reporting data to the Access Explorer database.
