3 Configuring the Replication Manager
To start using Replication Manager the administrator must configure it by performing the following
procedures in order:
1. “Adding a device” (page 14)
2. “Adding new users or administrators” (page 15)
3. “Creating a new group” (page 16)
NOTE: Only an administrator can perform these procedures. Those with user-level permissions
cannot add a device, add new users, or create groups.
Adding a device
NOTE: D2D systems that are monitored by Replication Manager are referred to as devices.
Before adding a device to Replication Manager, update the device firmware to the most recent
version.
To add devices:
1. From the Navigation tree under Administration, select Device Management.
2. In the Action buttons, click the Add button.
The Add Device dialog box appears.
3. Select the appropriate radio button to determine how Replication Manager will locate the
device, then type the correct information into the corresponding field.
4. Select the appropriate polling interval from the Polling Interval field.
The polling interval indicates how often the device is surveyed by Replication Manager to
determine and record or report its status.
5. Select or clear the box to indicate whether to find the associated target and source devices.
If this box is selected, Replication Manager will search for any target and source devices
connected to the device being added, and will also add them to the system.
6. Select or clear the box to indicate whether to search in the background.
7. Click OK to continue.
If Search in Background is selected, other operations can be performed while the devices are
being added. If Search in Background is not selected, the Add Devices progress bar appears
until the devices are added successfully (or if the operation fails). Other operations cannot be
performed while the devices are being added.
