Step 3:  Management Agent

Each storage device that you want to replicate must have a Peer Agent that manages that device.  The Peer Agent that manages a device is known as its Management Agent. You can have more than one Agent managing a storage device—however, the Agents must be managing different volumes/shares/folders on that storage device.  

The Management Agent page lists the available Agents.  In this step, you should select the Agent that manages the volumes/shares/folders you want to replicate in this job.

1.Select the Management Agent for the volume/share/folder you want replicated.

Click OK and then configure the database connection for the selected Management Agent.  See Database Connections for instructions about creating a database connection.

2.Click Next.
