Adding SharePoint farms

To add a SharePoint farm:

In the left pane of the ESI window, select EMC Storage Integrator or Applications > SharePoint.

In the Actions pane, click Add Application.
In the Applications dialog box, set the following values:

Field	Description
Farm Friendly Name	Type a name to identify the farm.
Local Farm	If ESI is running on the same server as the farm, select the Local Farm checkbox. Clear the checkbox to connect to a remote farm. Note: If Local Farm is not selected and the database server name matches the local server as the ESI host, ESI assumes that you are adding a local farm and ignores all of the field values except for the Friendly Name.
Database Server	Type the database server name.
Configuration Database	Type the farm name of the configuration database. Get these details from the SQL Server or SharePoint administration.
Integrated Security	Select to use Microsoft Windows Authentication.
User Name and Password	Clear the Integrated Security checkbox to use SQL Server Authentication, and then type a username and password.

To confirm that the values are correct, click Test Connection.
Click Add.

The farm is added to the list in the Applications window. However, ESI is not yet connected to the farm.
