Installing and Using the Server Agent on a Windows Server
To register a Windows server to Storage Manager, the Storage Manager Server Agent must be installed on the server. The Server
Agent allows Storage Manager to communicate with the Windows server to retrieve information, streamline storage management
for the server, and perform Space Recovery.
Download the Server Agent
Download the Server Agent Installer .msi le from the Data Collector website. If you are installing the Server Agent on a full
installation of Windows Server, perform this task from the server. If you are installing the Server Agent on a core installation of
Windows Server, download the Server Agent on another computer and then transfer the le to the server.
1. Navigate to the following address in a web browser to access the Data Collector website:
Variable
Description
Data_Collector_Server The host name or IP address of the Data Collector server.
Web_Server_Port The web server port of the Data Collector server. The default
is 3033.
2. If a certicate warning appears, acknowledge the warning to continue to the Data Collector website.
3. Click Download (.msi) in the Server Agent Installer row and save the installer to the Windows server or virtual machine.
Install and Register the Server Agent
