PowerProtect Data Manager 19.14 Storage Direct User Guide

Import an existing Storage Direct agent configuration to the PowerProtect Data Manager server

Perform the following steps to import an existing Storage Direct agent command line configuration to a PowerProtect Data Manager server.

1. Verify that all the configuration files required for importing to PowerProtect Data Manager are complete.
2. Create a json file named BFconfigValidate.json, with the following content:
   { "command": "brownfieldConfigValidate", "configName": [] }
3. Copy the json file to the installpath/bin directory.
4. Run the following command:
   protectpoint < BFconfigValidate.json.

   NOTE: The validation fails when you validate multiple imported configuration files simultaneously. In that case, rerun this command according to the number of files. For example, if you have five configuration files, run this command for five times.
   The appsetting file in the installpath/config directory displays details for both successfully validated configuration files and configuration files that cannot be validated. For each configuration file that has been validated successfully, a 1 is added at the end of the configuration file name. Only the successful configuration files' storage groups and copies will be imported to the PowerProtect Data Manager server.
