Configuring the Discovery Agent manually
If you are using the Discovery Agent with SteelHead-c virtual appliances for Azure and ESX/ESXi, you must manually configure the Discovery Agent.
To configure the Discovery Agent manually
1. Log in to your Windows server and double-click the Riverbed Discovery Agent icon in the system tray.
2. Select the Settings tab in the Discovery Agent to display the Settings page.
3. Click Configure to display the Configure Discovery Agent page.
4. Click Manual to display the Manual Configuration page.
5. Choose a load-balancing policies from the drop-down list:
• Priority - Selects a SteelHead-c for load balancing until its connection count exceeds the maximum and then moves on to the next available SteelHead-c. When the load of the first SteelHead-c decreases below the maximum, it is available again. This policy is the default setting.
• Round robin - Selects a SteelHead-c and then another (using the round-robin policy) for load balancing. Use the Round Robin policy only if the connection rate is high and you need more than one SteelHead-c to handle the load.
6. Either specify a SteelHead-c to connect to the Discovery Agent or click New to add a new SteelHead-c to connect to the Discovery Agent.
7. Enter the IP address of the SteelHead-c and click OK.
The SteelHead-c is added to the SteelHead List in the Configuration Dialog box.
Use the arrows to adjust the priority in which the Discovery Agent connects to the SteelHead-c virtual appliances.
