Adding Allowed Servers for the Data Store
For a data store, you can specify the allowed servers using the Allowed Servers tab. Allowed servers specify either the IP addresses for the range of servers or a single server IP address.
You create data stores to specify the protectors in your enterprise to which you want to deploy policies and trusted applications. The protectors are identified by their IP address which must be unique across the enterprise. Using the data store, you can define the list of protector nodes that can pull the packages. A data store consists of information on policies and trusted applications. You can create a default data store that deploys polices to the protectors that are not a part of the allowed servers list of any data store. Thus, when a new protector is added that is not a part of any data store, the protector inherits the policy information pertaining to the default data store.
You cannot create data stores with the same names in the data store name. You can create only one default data store for a single instance of ESA.
To create a data store:
On the ESA Web UI, navigate to Policy Management > Data Stores.
The list of all the data stores appear.
Click Add New Data Store.
The New Data Store screen appears.
Enter a unique name identifying the data store in the Name textbox.

Enter the description describing the data store in the Description textbox.
Click the Select as Default Data Store option.
If a default data store already exists and you are updating another data store as the default data store, then the following message appears.
