PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

Edit the network configuration for a Search Engine node

To change the virtual network configuration, perform the following steps. To change any other network configuration settings, contact Customer Support.

1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Search Engine and then select the applicable Search Engine node.
2. Select More Actions > Edit Networks.
   The Edit Search Engine Node wizard opens to the Network Configuration page.
3. If applicable, from the Preferred Network Portgroup list, select a VGT network to carry Data for Management Components traffic.

   The list displays all virtual networks within the trunk range. If you select a portgroup that contains multiple networks, PowerProtect Data Manager automatically selects all networks. Individual networks cannot be selected.

   A Search Engine node requires an IP address from the static IP pool for each selected virtual network. If there are not enough IP addresses in a pool, the wizard prompts you to supply additional addresses for that network.

   Virtual networks with a warning symbol () beside the network name require attention and review. For example, if you changed the network configuration, the configured traffic types may not support Search Engine nodes. Clear any interfaces which no longer apply to the Search Engine node.

4. If required, type an available static IP address or IP address range in the Additional IP Addresses column for the indicated virtual network.

   For convenience when working with multiple virtual networks, you can also use one of the Auto Expand options:

   • Expand Last IP—The wizard increments the host portion of the last IP address in the static IP pool. Click Apply.
   • Same Last Digit—The wizard adds the network portion of the IP address to the specified value. Type the host portion of the IP address and then click Apply.

   The wizard updates the value in the Additional IP addresses column for each network. Verify the proposed IP addresses.

5. Click Next.
6. On the Summary page, review the information and then click Finish.
