Use Ops Center Administrator to add servers so you can attach volumes. You can add multiple server parameters from a file, or add one server at a time.

There are two methods of adding servers:

Manually add information for one server at a time.
Import a CSV (comma-separated values) file with information for one server in each row.
The CSV file must have the following headings, in the order specified: Name, Description, IPAddress, OSType, WWNs (comma separated list of WWNs), WWNsUserDefinedNames (comma-separated list of user-defined names for WWNs). All fields are required except Description, IPAddress and WWNsUserDefinedNames.Valid OSType values are as follows:
- AIX
- HP_UX
- LINUX
- NETWARE
- OVMS
- SOLARIS
- TRU64
- VMWARE
- VMWARE_EX
- WIN
- WIN_EX

On the Ops Center Administrator dashboard, click Servers. Then click the plus sign (+) to open the Add Server page.

Note: FC-NVMe and iSCSI are not currently supported for high availability.
In the Add Server window, do one of the following:
- Click the upper plus sign (+) to browse for the CSV file or drag the file to the plus sign. The values from the file populate the window. Example:
```
name,description,ipAddress,osType,wwns,wwnsUserDefinedNames
