From the home page, select Node on the Navigation bar.
The Node screen displays.
From the Node toolbar, click Add, and then click Add Node by IP/Name on the pop-up menu.
The Add Node by IP/Name dialog opens.
Complete the following fields on the Add Node by IP/Name dialog:
- IP/Node Name--Lets you specify the IP address or the name of the node.
- Description--Lets you specify a description for the node.
- Username--Lets you specify the user name that is required to log in to the node.
- Password--Lets you specify the password that is required to log in to the node.
Click OK.
(Optional) If the newly added node does not appear in the nodes list, click Refresh on the Node toolbar.
The Add Node by IP/Name dialog closes and the node is added.
(Optional) If CA ARCserve Backup is installed on the node and the CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager credentials do not have CA ARCserve Backup administrator privileges, the following message appears:
```
ARCserve Backup administrator privilege is required.
```
To continue, specify the login credentials for the CA ARCserve Backup administrator account and click OK.

Note: CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager can perform data synchronization on only CA ARCserve Backup primary and stand-alone servers. When the primary server is a branch server, CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager can synchronize the CA ARCserve Backup data only with the global dashboard server.

The node is added.
