Four tabs accumulate all information on the selected machine and let the management server administrator perform operations with the backup plans and tasks on the machine.
The tab displays the following information on the registered machine:
Name - name of the selected machine (taken from the Computer name in Windows).
Registration address - computer name or IP address of the selected machine. During the registration of a machine the management server administrator can assign either a name or IP address to identify the machine on the management server.
IP address - IP address of the selected machine.
Operating system - the operating system the machine's agent runs.
Drive health status - the state of the machine's drives health. This field is set to Not available if the Acronis Drive Monitor utility is not installed on the machine. Acronis Drive Monitor automatically checks for disk problems and predicts when a hard drive is about to fail. The utility is free of charge for download at http://www.acronis.eu.
Overall progress - the state of the task. Shows the progress bar if the state of the task is Running.
Status - the machine's status. Is determined as the most severe status of all backup plans (both local and centralized) existing on the machine.
Last connection - how much time has passed since the management server last connected to the machine.
Last successful backup - how much time has passed since the last successful backup.
Next backup - how much time is left before the next backup.
Availability:
Online - the machine is available for the management server. This means that the management server's last connection to the machine was successful. Connection is established every 2 minutes.
Offline - the machine is unavailable for the management server: it is turned off, or its network cable is unplugged.
Unknown - this state is displayed until the first connection between the management server and the machine is established after adding the machine or starting the management server's service.
Withdrawn - the machine was registered on another management server, or the Stand-alone management parameter is selected in the Options > Machine options > Machine management. As a result, it is not possible to control the machine from the current management server. However, you are able to regain control over the machine by specifying the management server address in the Machine management settings.
Expired - the trial period of the machine's agent has expired. To specify a full license key, use the Change License functionality, or run the setup program and follow its instructions.
Installed agents - full name of Acronis agents, installed on the machine.
Processor - the type of CPU used in the managed machine.
CPU clock - clock rate of the CPU.
RAM - memory size.
Description - the machine's description (taken from the Computer description in Windows).
This tab appears only if the selected machine is added to one or more custom groups and displays a list of the groups the machine is a member of.
