About application discovery
Application discovery is the process by which Replication Manager identifies the resources associated
with an application server and the backups server where the replicas are to be stored.
Once an instance of Application Agent is registered and the pair configuration (primary and secondary
volumes) set up, the discovery process proceeds and the resource information is collected or refreshed.

Adding an instance of Application Agent
To add an instance of Application Agent:
1. Make sure you have the following information concerning the host where Application Agent has
been installed:
• Name of Application Agent identified by Replication Manager
• Host ID. For a physical host (stand-alone), the IP address or host name of production server
where the agent is running. (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.) For a cluster, the IP
address or host name of virtual server
• Port number (used for communication with Replication Manager)
• Host Type (database or backup server)
• Configuration type (physical or virtual host)
• For a cluster, the Virtual Host, which must be a name (and not an IP address), along with the
Host ID of all nodes in the cluster
TIP:
If you use IPv6 to connect to Application Agent, specify the IP address (or host name) and
port number for IBM HTTP Server.
2. From the Explorer menu, choose Administration and then Information Source.
The Information Source subwindow appears.
3. Expand the object tree, and then select Application Agent.
The Application Agent subwindow appears.
4. Click Add Agent.
The Add Application Agent dialog box appears.
5. Specify the Application Agent information you prepared in step 1.
TIP:
When you add multiple information sources at one time, you can quickly complete the registration
process by deferring the acquisition of configuration information from the instances of Application
Agent. To do this, clear the
Acquire the application configuration managed by the Application Agent during the registration
check box.
