Enable an asset source

An asset source must be enabled in PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance before you can add and register the asset source for the protection of assets.

About this task

Only the Administrator role can manage asset sources.

In some circumstances, the enabling of multiple asset sources is required. For example, a vCenter Server and a Kubernetes cluster asset source must be enabled for Tanzu Kubernetes guest cluster protection.

There are other circumstances where enabling an asset source is not required, such as the following:

  • For application agents and other agents such as File System, an asset source is enabled automatically when you register and approve the agent host. For example, if you have not enabled an Oracle asset source but have registered the application host though the API or the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance user interface, PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance automatically enables the Oracle asset source.
  • When you update to the latest version of PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance from an earlier release, any asset sources that were previously enabled appear in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance user interface. On a new deployment, however, no asset sources are enabled by default.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance user interface, select Infrastructure > Asset Sources, and then click + to reveal the New Asset Source tab.
  2. 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 Appliance.
