PowerProtect Data Manager 19.14 SAP HANA 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 reregistered 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. Stop the agent service as described in the preceding topic.
  2. Delete the <agent_service_installation_location>/ssl folder and <agent_service_installation_location>/dbs/v1/objects.db.
  3. 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
  4. Verify that the agentsvc process is started.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
