Arctera InfoScale™ Operations Manager 9.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

Add

Click to manually specify more than one host to add.

Clone

Click to add a new entry and copy the details of the selected managed host into the new row. Once the information is copied in to a new row, you can edit the information, if required.

You can use this option if you have multiple hosts with similar host names, user names, and passwords.

Import

Click to import the details of the managed hosts from a comma-separated (.csv) file from a specified location. The CSV file must include the ".csv" extension.

The following is an example of a CSV file that includes user names and passwords for each host:

Host,User,Password
host1.abc.com,username1,password1
host2.abc.com,username2,password2

The first line in the CSV file must appear as above. You can replace the subsequent lines with your hosts, user names, and passwords.

You can use the manual host specification and the CSV file simultaneously to add hosts.

Host Name

Enter host name or IP address that you can use to reach the managed host from Management Server.

User Name

Enter the root or administrator user name for the host.

Password

Enter the root or administrator password to log on to the managed host.

None

Select this option if you do not want to install the managed host package on the host before adding it to Management Server.

You can use this option if the managed host package is already installed on the Linux/Unix or Windows hosts.

Install managed host package on Linux/Unix

Select this option to install the managed host package on the Linux/Unix hosts. If the managed host package is not already installed, the latest version that is uploaded in the Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager repository is installed on the managed host. If a lower version of managed host package is already installed, it is upgraded to the latest version that is uploaded in the Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager repository.

Use this option if you have only Linux/Unix hosts that you want to add to Management Server.

Use root password

If you select Install managed host package on Linux/Unix option, the Use root password option is enabled. Select this option if you want to install the host package on a Linux/Unix host as a non-root user. Provide the non-root username, non-root password, and root password for the specified host. You can use this option if the Secure Shell (SSH) access is disabled for the root login on the host where you want to install the host package and perform the Add Host operation.

Install managed host package on Windows

Select this option to install the managed host package on the Windows hosts. If the managed host package is not already installed, the latest version that is uploaded in the Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager repository is installed on the managed host. If a lower version of managed host package is already installed, it is upgraded to the latest version that is uploaded in the Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager repository.

Use this option if you have only Windows hosts that you want to add to Management Server.

Select Windows Managed Host

Select a Windows managed host which you want to use as a Control Host. This option is enabled only when you select the option Install managed host package on Windows and there is at least one Windows managed host in the domain. The Control Host add-on is installed on the specified Windows managed host, if it is not already installed.

If there are no compatible Windows hosts in the domain, you need to manually install the managed host package on at least one Windows managed host and add it to the domain.
