Add/Configure an Avamar Server within the Data Collector policy window

Add Avamar servers by clicking Add, by importing using a .CSV file, or by using the Inventory. The Avamar Servers table is populated using any of these methods. Servers added to this table are also displayed under Inventory. The Avamar Servers table only displays available servers. These servers are not assigned to other policies within the domain.

Note:

Data Collector policies can be in place for multiple servers, but a server cannot be assigned multiple policies within the same domain. If you try add a server that is already assigned to another Data Collector policy, you will be prompted to remove it from its current policy and reassign it.

Click Add on the EMC Avamar Data Collector Policy screen. The Add EMC Avamar Server screen displays.
