Configure RMI after installation avamar software

Hi,

Ok, in case that i would want to have two ip´s actives (rmi_address and hfsaddr). ¿how do I activate the client?, i need to pointing up to rmi_address or hsfaddr?

thanks

best regards

You can also leave the rmi_address parameter as blank, then Avamar administrator will use the hfsaddr parameter for the RMI connection to the MCS

Thanks.

Hi,

OK, with this parameter modified, i have one questions.

¿how do I activate the client?, because now, i have two ip´s, rmi_address and hfsaddr.

best regards

Hello,

To change the rmi_address, edit the file mcserver.xml on the utility node

Look for the parameter 'rmi_address' in mcserver.xml and change its value to the manager IP Address

After changing the value, save the file

Restart MCS using the commands :

dpnctl stop mcs

dpnctl start mcs

And then, start the backup scheduler using the command :

dpnctl start sched

Thanks.

I understand how to change the rmi_address field, but I am not sure what to change it to in my case.

Situation:

Avamar grid is on a private lan

Windows box used to manage the grids are on a different lan

Avamar grid internal IP is : 1.1.1.1

Avamar grid external IP is : 2.1.1.1

2.1.1.1 is open on the firewall for TCP 7778 and routed internally to 1.1.1.1

The Windows box IP external IP is 3.3.3.3 allowing TCP 7778, 27000, 28001, and 29000 inbout

3.3.3.3 is routed to 4.4.4.4 which is the internal IP

What address would I enter into the rmi_address field?  Do I need to change something else to make it work?

The rmi_address needs to be set to the address where the Avamar Administrator Server (which runs on the utility node) can be reached from on the client.

In other words, if you are logged into the client and the IP you would use to connect to the server is 2.1.1.1, the rmi_address should be set to 2.1.1.1 (or, if possible, set it to the DNS short name of the utility node and make sure that hostname correctly resolves to 2.1.1.1).
