Adding a Storage Mirroring server to be monitored

2. Right-click the node and select Configuration, New, New Node. The Server
Properties dialog box appears.
3. In the Server Properties dialog box:
a. In the Name field, enter the hostname of the server to monitor..
b. Optionally, add a description for the host in the Description field.
c. Specify a Username and Password of an administrator on the host you will
be monitoring. This is used to connect to the server to gather data.
d. Create aliases for any alternative names for the host. Click Add to create an
alias. Alias creation is recommended in certain situations in which there are
problems with name resolution.
4. Click OK.
You may configure Group Nodes in the same manner and place or create your Storage
Mirroring server nodes within various groups. For more information, see
