Adding a Unity CIFS Server to the Data Security Essentials Policy Hierarchy

1. Open Superna Data Security Essentials Admin by navigating to:
   Start > All Programs > Superna Data Security Essentials > Data Security Essentials Admin

2. Right-click My Site and select:
   New > Filer

3. Create a New Unity System
   Right-click My Site and select:
   New > Unity System

4. Name the Unity System
   Enter a name that matches the CIFS server name of your Unity storage system.

5. Add Data Security Application
   After the Unity system appears in the recognized servers list, right-click it and select:
   New > Data Security Application

6. Add Policy Engine Application
   Right-click the Unity system and select:
   New > Data Security - Policy Engine Application

7. Configure Windows Server to Manage Unity
   After adding the Unity system to the hierarchy, configure the Windows server that will manage it.
