Register the PowerProtect agent service to a different server address on AIX or Linux
The PowerProtect agent service is registered to a particular
PowerProtect Data Manager server during the agent installation by the installer. If needed, you can register the agent service to a different
PowerProtect Data Manager server address. If there are multiple agents installed on a host, all agents will be re-registered to the new PowerProtect server.
The agent service can only be registered to a single
PowerProtect Data Manager server.
On AIX or Linux, perform the following steps to register the agent service to a different server address.
To unregister from the current
PowerProtect Data Manager server, go to the
/opt/dpsapps/agentsvc directory and run the
unregister.sh script.
In the
dbs/v1 directory, rename the
copies.db file to
copies-backup.db.
To register the agent service to the different server address, go to the
/opt/dpsapps/agentsvc directory, run the
register.sh script, and provide the
PowerProtect Data Manager server IP address or hostname:
The following command prompts for the new IP address or hostname:
# register.sh
Enter the PowerProtect Data Manager IP address or hostname: 10.0.0.1
Warning: Changing IP of PowerProtect Server from 192.168.0.1 to 10.0.0.1
Started agent service with PID - 1234
The following command includes the new IP address on the command line:
# register.sh --PowerProtectServer=10.0.0.1
Warning: Changing IP of PowerProtect Server from 192.168.0.1 to 10.0.0.1
Started agent service with PID - 1234
Verify that the
agentsvc process is started.
Verify the agent registration status:
In the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select
Infrastructure > Application Agents.
In the
Application Agents window, select the entry that contains the agent hostname and ensure that the status is
Registered.
To perform asset discovery for the agent:
In the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select
Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
The
Asset Sources window appears.
Select the tab for your application agent or file system host.
Select the agent hostname and click
Discover. At the confirmation prompt, click
Yes.
When you select
Infrastructure > Assets, the
Assets window displays the discovered assets.
