2.8.3 Scan for new Servers

If you have installed deployment agents before creating the corresponding Servers in release management, you can

“scan” for them. Each deployment agent communicates its presence and shares certain details with the release

management Server. The list of Unregistered Servers can be viewed from the Servers List view.

1. In the main menu, choose Configure Paths. Then, in the sub-menu, choose Servers. The list of active

servers will appear.

2. Choose the down arrow of the New button. A menu will appear. Choose Scan for New. The Unregistered

Servers dialog will appear.

3. In the Unregistered Servers dialog, select any servers you would like to register. Choose Register to

and dismiss the dialog.

4. Choose Rescan to update the list with more unregistered servers.

5. When dealing with “cloned” environments where server characteristics are re-used, you can use the

following options:

a. Specify the Display Name Prefix and/or Display Name Suffix to append information to the

Name property of the Server. This will be shown under the Display Name column in the view.

Changes will impact the selected servers only. This way you can do what-if scenarios before

registering the new servers. Validation will apply where possible prior to processing the selected

servers.

b. Indicate whether or not the servers to register will be treated as “cloned” servers. Selecting Yes

will set a flag in the corresponding server profile. This can be changed later, if required. Selecting

No will treat the server in a standard way. That will allow the server to use dynamic IP addresses.

For cloned servers the IP address must be static.
