This field is used to handle physical paths that are returned for virtual data movers.

Test credentials

Veritas recommends that you test the connection before proceeding to ensure that Data Insight is able to connect to the filer.

Monitoring details

Select Automatically discover and monitor shares on this filer to enable Data Insight to automatically discover shares of the filer and add them configuration.

You can also choose to add shares manually.

Clear the check box if you use Control Station credentials with insufficient privileges for share discovery. If you choose to use credentials that do not have administrator rights and XML v2 privilege, you must manually add shares to the configuration.

Select this option to scan newly added shares immediately, instead of waiting for the normal scan schedule.

Scanning will still run only when scanning is permitted on the Collector node.
