• Hostname: If you are adding a protected node, type the host name of the node to protect. This field is display-only in MODIFY dialog.

• IP Address: If you are adding a protected node, type the IP address of the node to protect. This field isn’t dispayed in MODIFY dialog.

• Proxy Host. (This parameter is not applicable for agent‑based enrollment.) This is the ESX/ESXi server that’s hosting the PN proxies.

• onQ Proxy Service Rev: (This parameter is not applicable for agent‑based enrollment.) The software revision running on the PN proxies.

• onQ Node Service Rev: (This parameter is not applicable for agent‑less enrollment.) The software revision running on the PNs.

• Backup Mode: (This parameter is not applicable for agent‑based enrollment.) As outlined in (Workflow) Fail over a PN to an RN and (Workflow) Fail back an RN to a PN, this parameter reflects whether onQ is currently backing up the agent‑less PN (Agentless) or the RN (Recovery Node) in production mode. onQ Portal changes this parameter automatically as it powers on and off the RN.

• Group Name. A logical means of grouping your PNs. Groups are required to configure startup dependencies as outlined in Configure startup dependencies. For Agent-less PNs, the onQ Portal groups the PNs by ESXi server. If you do not want these PNs in such a group, clear the default Group Name field at the time of enrollment to remove the PNs from this group and place them in the shared pool.

• Backup Schedule. onQ performs an initial backup of your PNs when you first start protection. Modify the default backup schedule to instruct onQ when and how often to perform subsequent backups. Go to Schedule backups.

• Backup Retention Time. PN’s retention policy. The maximum number of days to retain backed-up data that is no longer referenced. Go to Change Backup Retention Policy.

• File Backup Only: PN’s file backup policy. When set to Yes, squirtcopy backs up only those files and folders that you specify in the Backup Include List and only if you specify the disk drives and mount points for those files and folders, as outlined in Edit backup include list. This parameter can only be enabled by Quorum Support and is typically used only for file servers. Note the following when this parameter is enabled:

• OS Type?: PN’s operating system. Both Linux and Windows operating systems are supported, though the parameters available vary. This field isn’t displayed in the Modify a Protected Node dialog.

• Auto RN Creation?: PN’s RN build policy, which instructs onQ when to create a recovery node. On‑Site/Prime/Plus users can change this policy from the Add a Protected Node/Modify a Protected Node dialog, but onQ Flex customers must do so from the onQ Flex Manager. This policy represents your potential downtime in the event of a disaster (aka RTO). See also (On‑Site/Prime/Plus) Modify RN build policy or (onQ Flex) Modify RN type and/or RN build policy, depending on your configuration.

• Disable Protection?: PN’s protection policy. Select No to enable or Yes to disable protection for this node. If you disable protection, the most recent re-build of the recovery node is retained but backups are suspended. If you disable protection while a backup is in progress or an RN is being rebuilt, that process continues to completion but further backups are suspended. When you re-enable protection, backups resume and subsequent RN rebuilds are based on the existing RN. See Disable protection of nodes.
