7.5.6 Operations with storage nodes
7.5.6.1 Actions on storage nodes
To access actions
1. Connect the console to the management server.
2. In the Navigation pane, click Storage nodes.

To Do
Add a storage node to
the management
server
1. Click Add.
2. In the Add storage node (p. 219) window, specify the machine the storage
node is installed on.
Adding a storage node establishes a trusted relationship between the
management server and the storage node, in the same way as when you add
machines to the server. Once the storage node is added to the management
server, you will be able to create managed vaults on the node.
Remove a storage
node from the
management server 1. Select the storage node you need to remove.
2. Click Remove.
Once the storage node is removed from the management server, the vaults being
managed by the storage node disappear from the vault list (p. 175) and become
unavailable for performing operations. All the plans and tasks that use these vaults
will fail. All the databases and vaults of this storage node remain untouched.
It is possible to add the previously removed storage node to the management
server again. As a result, all the vaults managed by the storage node will appear in
the vault list and become available once again for all the plans and tasks that used
these vaults.
Create a centralized
managed vault on the
selected storage node 1. Select the storage node that will manage the vault.
2. Click Create vault.
The Create centralized vault (p. 179) page will be opened with the pre-selected
storage node. Perform the remaining steps to create the vault.
View details of the
storage node 1. Select the storage node.
2. Click View details.
In the Storage node properties (p. 219) window (its content is duplicated on the
Information panel at the bottom of the Storage nodes view), examine information
about the storage node and the vaults managed by this node.
Run, stop or
reschedule compacting 1. Select the storage node.
2. Click View details.
In the Storage node properties (p. 219) window, click the Run compacting, Stop,
or Compacting schedule links respectively.
Run or stop indexing 1. Select the storage node.
2. Click View details.
In the Storage node properties (p. 219) window, click the Run indexing or Stop
links respectively.
