The node machine that you add to
IBM Aspera Console as a
managed node must have a properly configured administrative account. The following
instructions assume that you are logged into the node machine you want to add to
Console.
Important: These instructions require that your Aspera service
account (svcAspera, by default) be set up as a transfer user on the server. If the
node's transfer product was installed by upgrading from a previous installation of
IBM Aspera Enterprise Server or IBM Aspera Connect Server, a transfer user corresponding to the service account is created automatically.
However, if it was a "clean" install (not an upgrade from a previous installation),
only the service account is created, not the corresponding transfer user. In this
case, create the transfer user manually using the GUI. For more information on
creating the transfer user, see the IBM Aspera Enterprise Server Admin
Guide.
