PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Oracle RMAN User Guide

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.

1. Perform the required steps, depending on whether the registered PowerProtect Data Manager is available:

   • If the registered PowerProtect Data Manager is available, delete the host from PowerProtect Data Manager. Log in to the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select the host in the Infrastructure > Asset Sources window, and click Delete.

   • If the registered PowerProtect Data Manager is unavailable:

     1. Unconfigure the Oracle RMAN agent by logging in as the root user on the Oracle RMAN host and running the /home/oracle/opt/dpsapps/rmanagent/addon/unConfigureAddOn.sh script.

     2. Unregister the Oracle RMAN agent by running the /opt/dpsapps/agentsvc/unregister.sh script.
2. Delete the <agent_service_installation_location>/ssl folder and <agent_service_installation_location>/dbs/v1/objects.db.
3. Rename the copies.db file in the dbs/v1/ folder to copies-backup.db.
4. Complete the required addons configuration and registration with PowerProtect Data Manager. Run the configureAddOn.sh script from the RMAN agent addon directory $RMAN_AGENT_HOME/addon and specify the new PowerProtect Data Manager IP for registration. Step 4 provides more information.
5. Verify that the agentsvc process is started.

6. Verify the agent registration status:

   1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Application Agents.

   2. In the Application Agents window, select the entry that contains the agent hostname and ensure that the status is Registered.

7. To perform asset discovery for the agent:

   1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Asset Sources.

      The Asset Sources window appears.

   2. Select the tab for your application agent or file system host.

   3. 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.
