Servers
Within your server groups, you have the ability to further manage the servers that are displayed by
using the following functions.

Moving Servers—Servers that are auto-populated can be moved to different groups within the
Management Console tree.

Inserting Servers—If a machine is not displayed on the Management Console, it can be
manually inserted. This feature is useful for machines that are across a router or on a different
network segment.

Removing Servers—If you do not want to see a server in the Management Console, it can be
permanently removed from the display. You might need to remove a server that was manually
added, if that server is no longer needed. Or if there are servers within the network that another
administrator is responsible for, you can remove them from your display.

Hiding Servers—If you do not want to see a server in the Management Console and do not want
to disable Active Directory discovery, you can hide the server from view. This keeps the server in
the Management Console’s internal list of servers, but does not display it in the server tree, any
dialog boxes, or any field/menu selections.

Unhiding Servers—You can unhide, or display, a hidden server at any time you want to access
that server. The server will be displayed in the server tree, all dialog boxes, and field/menu
selections.
Moving servers
You can move servers to groups by either of the following methods

Drag and drop a server into the desired group. With this method you can move one server at a
time in the left pane of the Management Console. You can move more than one server at a time
by using this method from the right pane of the Management Console.

Insert a server into the desired group. Inserting an existing server to the tree will move the first
occurrence to that new location.
A Storage Mirroring server will only appear once within the entire Management Console tree. Servers
cannot be placed into multiple groups.
Inserting servers
Use the following instructions to insert a server into the Management Console.
1. Right-click on a group and select New, Server or highlight a group and select Insert, Server.
2. Type the machine name or IP address and the port number, if it is different than the default.
3. Click Test to determine if the machine is running Storage Mirroring. At any time while Storage
Mirroring is attempting to locate the machine, click Stop to cancel the test.
4. Click OK to insert the server or Cancel if you do not want to insert that server.
NOTE: If a machine is manually inserted into the Management Console, it will automatically
be saved in your workspace and will appear the next time the Management Console
is started.
NOTE: If a server is listed in Active Directory and Active Directory discovery is enabled, a
removed server will automatically be added back to the server list .
NOTE: A server that already exists in the tree will be moved to the currently selected group if
you attempt to insert it again.
NOTE: If you do not manually test a machine before inserting it, Storage Mirroring will
automatically test it for you.
NOTE: Even if a machine is not running Storage Mirroring, you can still insert it in the
Management Console.
