Description

Agent Host

Enter the host name where you want to configure the agent

Agent Operating System Type

Select the operating system of the host where you want to install Agent. For example: Windows

For Windows hosts, you can configure an Agent for all supported backup products.

OpsCenter Server Network Address

Select the network address from the drop-down list, using which you want to connect to the OpsCenter Server

Locate option

Click Locate to check if OpsCenter can connect to the Agent host that you entered, validate the OS, and Network address. An error appears if OpsCenter cannot connect to the Agent.

Note:

Changing the port number that the OpsCenter Agent requires to connect to the PBX on the OpsCenter Server is not supported in OpsCenter 7.5. If you add or edit a new OpsCenter Agent, the PBX port value is taken as 1556 by default. If you had configured a PBX port other than 1556 and upgrade to OpsCenter 7.5, then when you edit and save the Agent in OpsCenter 7.5 the PBX port value is changed to 1556.
