Data Source Configuration properties

  • Name

    Enables you to specify a name for the data source.

  • Data source type

    Enables you to select the data source type—​for example, Active IQ Unified Manager - 6.0 (MYSQL).

    When you select a data source type, the port, scheme, user name, password, interval (minutes), and timeout (sec) fields are populated with data.

    Note If you want to execute OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA) data protection workflows from an Active IQ Unified Manager server, you must set up WFA in the Active IQ Unified Manager server.

    For more information, see the OnCommand Unified Manager Online Help.

  • Host name

    Enables you to specify the host name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the data source.

    Note The Active IQ Unified Manager data source type does not support IPv6 addresses.

  • Port

    Displays the associated port number, if any, for the selected data source type.

    You can change the default port and specify a different port for the data source.

    This property cannot be modified.
