Problem

Adding physical machine to the inventory of NAKIVO Backup & Replication fails.

Solution

To make sure the physical machine is added correctly to the Inventory, try the following:

  • Ensure the SE linux is disabled on the Linux-based machines.

  • Ensure WMIC is installed on the Windows-based machines.

  • Ensure the physical machine has sufficient available disk space for the Transporter/Physical agent installation. See Physical Machine Requirements.

  • Enable ICMP Ping.

  • Adjust or disable thefirewall during the process. Refer to Networking Requirements.

  • Enable system.physical.skip.os.checking Expert setting (Use at your own risk). Refer to Expert Mode.

  • Alternatively, try to install a Transporter with a master password manually on the physical machine, and add the physical machine to the Inventory. Refer to Adding Physical Machines.
