Enable an asset source

A Kubernetes cluster asset source must be enabled in PowerProtect Data Manager before you can add and register the asset source for the protection of assets. Also, a vCenter Server asset source must be enabled for Tanzu Kubernetes guest cluster protection.

About this task

Only the Administrator role can manage asset sources.

There are some circumstances where enabling an asset source is not required. For example, when you update to the latest version of PowerProtect Data Manager from an earlier release, any asset sources that were previously enabled appear in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. On a new installation, however, no asset sources are enabled by default.

Steps

From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Asset Sources, and then click + to reveal the New Asset Source tab.
In the pane for the asset source that you want to add, click Enable Source.
The Asset Sources window updates to display a tab for the new asset source.

Results

You can now add or approve the asset source for use in PowerProtect Data Manager. For a vCenter Server or Kubernetes cluster, select the appropriate tab in this window and click Add.
