# Adding an Additional Server

You can add an additional server to your Commvault solution to replace an existing server or to help reduce the load on existing servers.

Note

Due to potential security issues from weak SSH ciphers, the push install feature for Linux and UNIX servers is disabled by default. You can re‑enable this functionality by configuring the PatchEnableUnixPushInstall additional setting. For more information, see Enable Push Install Feature for Linux and UNIX Servers.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Infrastructure > Servers.

   The Servers page appears.

2. In the upper-right, click Add server.

   The Add server dialog box appears.

3. Select one of the following installation methods:

   - To install software on the computer, click Select this method to install software packages on your computer, and then enter the following information:

     1. In the Host name box, type the host name.

        Note

        If a tenant administrator performs a push installation, the software cache is selected as follows:

        - If the tenant has multiple access nodes configured for a company, they can select the cache source from the Software cache list on the Add Server screen.

        - If the tenant has one access node configured for a company, the system automatically selects it as the software cache.

     2. In the User name and Password boxes, type the credentials for the server.

     3. For OS Type, select the operating system that is installed on the server.

     4. From the Select package(s) list, click each software package to install on the server, and then click OK.

        Some packages require additional information. For example, if you select DB2, you must enter a DB2 log path.

     5. Optional: In the Installation location box, enter the installation location path.

     6. To reboot the servers in the server group after the installation, move the Reboot if required toggle key to the right.

   - To complete an installation when the software is already installed on the server, click Select this method to complete the installation if the software packages are already installed on your computer, and then enter the following information:

     1. In the Server name box, type the server name.

     2. In the Host name box, type the host name.

4. Click Install.
