Add Servers to your Storage Centers
Use Storage Manager to add servers that use Storage Center volumes to your Storage Centers. To enable additional functionality,
such as the ability to display operating system and connectivity information, and to manage the volumes or datastores mapped to
the servers, register these servers to the
Storage Manager Data Collector. Before you register Windows servers, you must rst
install the
Storage Manager Server Agent.

used to transmit data to remote Storage Centers.
