Decommission/unregister VBA external proxy

Hello,

What would be the best/cleanest way to unregister/decommission a VBA external proxy from a VBA appliance?

Thanks

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

    help                        Displays this message

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:

02 delete proxy summary.png

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:

03 Re register to same or other VBA.png

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

Hallo Jens,

Danke für die ausführliche Anleitung.

Thanks a lot for your documentation.
