PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Storage Direct Agent User Guide

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

Perform the following steps to onboard 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. Update the Storage Direct Agent for version 19.7, and ensure that you specify the names of all required configuration files during the update.
3. Create a json file named BFconfigValidate.json, with the following content:
   { "command": "brownfieldConfigValidate", "configName": [] }
4. Copy the json file to the installpath/bin directory.
5. Run the following command:
   protectpoint < BFconfigValidate.json.
   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 onboarded to the PowerProtect Data Manager server.
