PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide

Redeploy or delete failed Search Engine nodes

PowerProtect Data Manager enables you to redeploy or delete Search Engine nodes that could not be successfully deployed.

The Redeploy Node functionality is only enabled for nodes that could not be successfully added to the Search Engine.

From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Search Engine.
Select the failed node that you want to either redeploy or delete from the cluster.
Do one of the following:
- To redeploy the failed node, click More Actions > Redeploy Node.
  The Redeploy Search Engine Node wizard opens. The Search Engine populates the fields with the information that you supplied when you added the node. Verify that the information is correct.
- To delete the failed node, click More Actions > Delete Node.

You can view the details for the operation in the Jobs > System Jobs window.

Optionally, if you want to update the DNS and/or gateway during the Search Engine node redeployment, you can use one of the following commands:

To update both the gateway and DNS, run ./infranodemgmt redeploy -node_id Search Node ID -updateDns DNS IPv4 address -updateGateway Gateway IPv4 address
To update the gateway only, run ./infranodemgmt redeploy -node_id Search Node ID -updateGateway Gateway IPv4 address
To update DNS only, run ./infranodemgmt redeploy -node_id Search Node ID -updateDns DNS IPv4 address
