Configuring nodes
A node represents a Storage Mirroring server. The following rules apply to nodes:
 No two nodes can share the same name
 No node can share its name with an alias of another node
 All host node names and aliases must be in lowercase
You may need to add alternative names as aliases to the node definition for Storage Mirroring servers.
These alternate names should include either the short or fully-qualified hostname of the Storage
Mirroring server.
Creating nodes
Nodes are elements within the Navigator tree and represent Storage Mirroring servers. To create
nodes:
1. Click to select a folder in the navigation tree in which you want to create a node.
2. Select Node, New, New Node from the main menu. The Server Properties dialog box appears.
3. In the Name field, enter the name of the Storage Mirroring server. This field is mandatory and
the node name must be unique.
4. In the Description field, enter a description of the Storage Mirroring server.
5. In the Server username field, enter the name of an administrator who has access to the
Storage Mirroring server. For more information about permissions that need to be assigned to
the username, see Adding a Storage Mirroring server to be monitored on page 4-1.
6. In the Server password field, enter the password for the administrator.
7. The Port field lists the port that is being monitored by Storage Mirroring Reporting Center. By
default, the standard Storage Mirroring port is monitored. To change the port number to be
monitored for the Storage Mirroring server, select the checkbox next to the Port field, then enter
