Note: You can skip this step if both the storage node and the users' machines are in the same Active
Directory domain.
For information about user rights on a storage node and in its managed vaults, see User rights on
a storage node (p. 81).

Actions on storage nodes

All the operations described here, are performed by clicking the corresponding buttons on the
toolbar. The operations can be also accessed from the Storage nodes bar (on the Actions and tools
pane) and from the Storage nodes item of the main menu.
To perform an operation with a storage node added to the management server, first select the
storage node.

Do
Click Add.
In the Add storage node (p. 319) window, specify the machine the storage node is
installed on.
Adding a storage node establishes a trusted relationship between the
management server and the storage node, in the same way as when you add
machines to the server. Once the storage node is added to the management
server, you will be able to create managed vaults on the node.
Click Remove.
Once the storage node is removed from the management server, the vaults being
managed by the storage node disappear from the vault list (p. 129) and become
unavailable for performing operations. All the plans and tasks that use these vaults
will fail. All the databases and vaults of this storage node remain untouched.
It is possible to add the previously removed storage node to the management
server again. As a result, all the vaults managed by the storage node will appear in
the vault list and become available once again for all the plans and tasks that used
these vaults.
Click Create vault.
The Create managed vault page (p. 133) will be opened with the pre-selected
storage node. Perform the remaining steps to create the vault.
