Add/Edit a HP Data Protector server within the Data Collector policy

Add and edit HP Data Protector Cell Manager servers directly from the data collector policy. This functionality is also available using the Inventory.

See Adding and Editing Hosts and Backup Servers .

The Backup Management Servers table, shown in the policy, is populated using either of these methods. Servers added to this table are also displayed under Inventory. The Backup Management Servers table only displays available servers. These servers are not assigned to other policies within the domain.

Note:

Data Collector policies can be in place for multiple servers, but a server cannot be assigned multiple policies within the same domain. If you try add a server that is already assigned to another Data Collector policy, you will be prompted to remove it from its current policy and reassign it.

  1. Click Add on the HP Data Protector Data Collector Policy screen.

    • Select a Cell Manager server and click Edit.

  2. The Add Backup Server screen displays.

  3. Enter or update values. Required fields are denoted by *.

    See Adding and Editing Hosts and Backup Servers .

  4. Click Assign Host Group to select a host group membership. Host group membership is mandatory when creating a backup server. A server can belong to multiple groups.

    See Manage host groups.

  5. Click OK to save the policy.

  6. On the Data Collector server, install/update the Data Collector software.
