Adding a remote system

Use this action to connect to a system and retrieve the system information.

Note: You cannot use this action in startable-CD mode or when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.

Tip: Before adding a remote system, verify that the ServeRAID Manager is running on the remote system. If the Manager is not running on the remote system, you will receive an error.

1. Click Remote Add remote system or click the icon from the toolbar. The "Add remote system" window opens.
   
   
2. Type the Remote TCP/IP host name or address.
   
   
3. Type the Remote system startup port number. The default port number is 34571.
   
   
4. If security is enabled on the remote system, type your user name and password.
   
   Note: The password is case sensitive.
   
   If security is disabled, go to step 6. (Security is enabled by default.)
   
   
5. If you want to save the user name and password, select the Save user name/Password box. Once you successfully connect to the remote system, the ServeRAID Manager stores this information in a file along with the host name so you do not have to type your user name and password every time you run the Manager.
   
   
6. Click Connect.
