Adding File Server

Before you add a Windows- or Linux-managed server as a file server to the inventory of the virtual infrastructure, consider the following:

• This server must meet requirements listed in the Platform Support section.
• You must have this server added in Backup Infrastructure.

For more information on how to add servers, see the Adding Microsoft Windows Servers and Adding Linux Servers section.

• If you plan to use a dedicated cache repository, make sure it is added in Backup Infrastructure.
• Data from managed servers is transferred directly to the repository without a proxy server.

You can add the file server in one of the following ways:

• Add a file server using console.
• Add a file server using web UI.
