Click Add.
In the Add storage node (p. 338) 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. 135) 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.
