Registering Hardware Node in Parallels Infrastructure Manager

You can register in Parallels Infrastructure Manager any Windows or Linux computer providing there is a Virtuozzo Containers installation on it. The newly registered Node will be displayed in the Nodes list on the Hardware Nodes screen and accessible via Infrastructure Manager for all the usual managing and monitoring operations Infrastructure Manager functionality provides you with. Besides, Nodes registered in Infrastructure Manager form a joint Hardware Nodes pool which provides for the following collective actions:

• creating a logical structure of Hardware Nodes and the Containers residing on them,
• migrating Containers between Nodes,
• copying OS and application templates from one Node to another,
• making Container samples stored on an Virtual Manager Node available to other registered Hardware Nodes,
• consolidating Node IP addresses into a network address range.

Registering a new Node to be managed through Parallels Infrastructure Manager is simple and all it takes is entering the following information on the new Node:

• The valid IP address of the Node that will be used by Infrastructure Manager to connect to this Node. Enter this IP address to the Node Address field in the Connection to Hardware Node section;
• In the Administrative Login to Hardware Node section you need to indicate the login name and the password which are used to connect to the Hardware Node as the administrator. Write the login name in the User Name field and the password in the Password field.

Selecting the Force Registration checkbox in the Registration Options section is the option to choose when the Node you are registering has already been and still is registered in another cluster and you need this Node to be registered in your cluster. If you forcibly register the Node, this Node will be removed from the cluster it currently belongs to.

Pressing the Register button initiates the registering procedure.
