Add / Delete Peer(s)
Overview
In this page, you can add the details of the other machines (peers) that are running . Once added, you can use the 'Switch Peer' feature (available at the top right hand corner of the web console pages) to access the web console of the added peers from this web console.
How to get here in the Web Console?
 In the top menu, select: "Settings-> Add/Delete Peer" and select the "Add Peer(s)" table.
Add/Delete Peer(s)
In a client machine, you may need to add the backup server machine as a peer here (Machine Type as 'Server') to be able to configure backups to the backup server in the 'Add Backup Schedule' page.
In a backup server machine, if you want to replicate it to a Replication Server, then you need to add the Replication Server as a peer here to be able to configure replication against it in 'Replication Management' page.
NOTE: When you add a peer with its IP address, then this machine will access it only through the IP address. Therefore, if the peer is in a DHCP network, then make sure you add the peer with its DNS name and not its IP address.
Machine Name - This is the name of the peer (if known) which needs to be added. You can either give the IP or the DNS name.
ID - This is an optional field to enter the ID of the peer (if known) which needs to be added. If you do not give a ID, will automatically get it from the peer if it is able to connect to it.
Machine Type - Select the ‘type’ of the peer (server/client/replication server).
Add Peer Button - Once the machine name and the machine type are specified as described above, click on the Add Peer Button to add the peer.
Delete Peer - To delete a peer, simply click on the delete icon in the row corresponding to the peer.
Once added, the machines are listed in the table available below the Add Peer button with their corresponding details. The availability (if this machine is able to connect to the peer) of the added machine can be interpreted from the image displayed before the ID; a blue icon indicates that the machine is available, and a black icon denotes that this machine was not able to connect to that peer.
