You must add the client to the Unitrends appliance before its data can be protected.
Note for replicating systems: Run this procedure from the replication target to add clients that can be used as restore targets for replicated backups.
Note for NDMP clients: The Unitrends appliance must be licensed for NDMP before you can add NDMP clients.
1 Access the Setup Wizard add computers step, or select Settings> Clients, Networking, and Notifications> Clients.
Note: The add computers Setup Wizard step only applies to the backup system installation type. If your system is configured as both a backup system and replication target, add clients using the Clients subsystem.
2 In the Setup Wizard install agents step, select one of the following:
(Skip this step if using the Clients subsystem.)
• I do not have any of the types of computers in the list above, and click Next. (You can select this option to continue with the Setup Wizard without installing agents and adding the computer types listed above.)
• I have physically installed the agent on each of the computers with operating systems in the list above, and click Next.
• I have not physically installed the agent on each of the computers with operating systems in the list above. Install agents as required before proceeding.
3 Click Add Client.
4 Select a Computer Type.
Configuration options displayed vary based on this selection. Complete the fields appropriately for the selected computer type:
• Adding a Cisco UCS Manager client
5 Click Setup to add the client.
• For Windows and Hyper-V clients, lightweight core and bare metal agents are installed on the client upon clicking Setup.
• Once the client is added, it displays on the Settings> Clients, Networking, and Notifications> Clients page.
• If you see a failure message, the client could not be added. Verify DNS settings, and that ports 1743 and 1745 are open.
If you see the following error, the agent could not be installed due to authentication issues. Install the agent manually (see the Protecting Windows Environments chapter), then add the client without checking the Establish Trust box. Error text:
If repeatedly experiencing errors, please download and install the latest agent release on your Windows server from the Unitrends website. After installation, uncheck 'Establish Trust' when setting up your client.
6 Repeat this procedure to add all clients.
7 Click Next to proceed to the next Setup Wizard step.
