Hello
in the EMC Networker and VMware Integration Guide (302-001-580) on page 44 is described the proxy reregistration.
logon to the console of the proxy an run the script
"/usr/local/avamarclient/etc/initproxyappliance.sh start"
this script has also a option unregister|--unregister
I think, this is the right way.

I don't see the option "unregister"
./initproxyappliance.sh -h
Usage:
initproxyappliance.sh [ACTION] [OPTION]...
Only one action should be specified. Multiple options may be specified.
Actions:
start Starts necessary services and sets up reboot processing
stop Exits gracefully
register Register or reregister the proxy
initlockbox Initialize the lockbox

Hello
There is a procedure to delete external proxy from EBR
You can do this using the proxycp.jar script
The script reside on ftp.avamar.com. ask EMC.
- copy script to VBA
-list the registered proxies on the EBR appliance
mccli client show --recursive=true | grep -i proxy
- use the proxycp utility to delete the eternal proxies
java -jar proxycp.jar --deleteproxy --proxy

I'm a colleague of Jürgen. We successfully tested today the proxycp.jar script. The file is hidden on the ftp Server and we don't know if this is an official document.
Please just Google "proxycp.jar" and you will find the link on the first match.
As soon as you downloaded the file you do the following to unregister Proxy:
copy file to VBA with for example WinSCP, use user "admin" and the root password you set during VBA-Installation for your VBA. Copy file to let's say /space/home/admin
connect with ssh to your VBA, use user "admin" and the root Password you set during VBA-Installation four your VBA.
chmod 755 proxycp.jar
java -jar proxycp.jar --listproxy --all
find the entry you want to delete and do deletion with:
java -jar proxycp.jar --deleteproxy --proxy /clients/XXXXX
Output will be like this:
The output will list all policies that are binded to the VBA and are updated not to use the proxy anymore.
If you don't Need the Proxy anymore delete it.
If you would like to register it again or to another VBA: restart the machine and look for the following Screen and press a button there:
You will then find yourself in the same wizzard that you met during the setup of your Proxy. (Enter VBA to register to and press some "Enter").
Does it work four you?

Hi Jens,
Actually I haven't tried the --deleteproxy option yet, but thanks a lot for sharing the proxycp.jar script.
We'll eventually keep our external proxies, so there's no need to delete them anymore.
Nevertheless, I'm currently installing a new VBA appliance that will replace another one with 2 assigned proxies.
I believe I'll just have to reassign the 2 proxies to this new VBA appliance using "/usr/local/avamarclient/etc/initproxyappliance.sh start" from the VBA appliance.
I'm actually wondering about how this will behave, I mean, if I register a "already registered" proxy to a new VBA appliance, is it going to delete the proxy from the VBA?
I'll update this post later

Thanks a lot for your documentation.
