Additional right of machine administrators
A vault user who is a member of the Administrators group on a machine can view and manage any
archives created from that machine in a managed vault—regardless of the type of that user's account
on the storage node.
Example
Suppose that two users on a machine, UserA and UserB, perform backups from this machine to a
centralized vault managed by a storage node. On the storage node, let these users to be added as
regular (non-administrative accounts) UserA_SN and UserB_SN, respectively. While creating a
managed vault, both accounts were added as vault users.
Normally, UserA can access only the archives created by UserA (and owned by UserA_SN), and UserB
can access only the archives created by UserB (and owned by UserB_SN).
However, if UserA is a member of the Administrators group on the machine, this user can
additionally access the archives created from this machine by UserB—even though UserA's account
on the storage node is a regular one.
7.5.6 Operations with storage nodes
7.5.6.1 Actions on storage nodes
To access actions
1. Connect the console to the management server.
2. In the Navigation pane, click Storage nodes.
3. The actions are performed by clicking the corresponding buttons on the toolbar.
To
Do
Add a storage node to
the management
server
1. Click Add.
2. In the Add storage node (p. 223) window, specify the machine the storage
node is installed on.
Adding a storage node establishes a trusted relationship between the
management server and the storage node, in the same way as when you add
machines to the server. Once the storage node is added to the management
server, you will be able to create managed vaults on the node.
Remove a storage
node from the
management server
1. Select the storage node you need to remove.
2. Click Remove.
Once the storage node is removed from the management server, the vaults being
managed by the storage node disappear from the vault list (p. 179) and become
unavailable for performing operations. All the plans and tasks that use these vaults
will fail. All the databases and vaults of this storage node remain untouched.
It is possible to add the previously removed storage node to the management
server again. As a result, all the vaults managed by the storage node will appear in
the vault list and become available once again for all the plans and tasks that used
these vaults.
Create a centralized
managed vault on the
selected storage node
1. Select the storage node that will manage the vault.
2. Click Create vault.
The Create centralized vault (p. 183) page will be opened with the pre-selected
