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
Note: Refer to the storage system documentation for the OS Type and Host Mode of the host groups associated with the storage system.

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
