7.5 Procedure for connecting a site server to another management server
This section describes the necessary operations for the following conditions that can occur after systems are integrated or the administration scope changes.
-
You want to change the connection destination of a site server used in a system to a management server in another system.
-
You want to change the connection destination of a site server used in a system to a newly built management server#.
#: Does not include new management servers resulting from replacement (a database is restored by using backup data from the management server in the old system).
Some steps vary depending on whether the operation log data stored on a site server is inherited by the destination system during migration or deleted in order to use the site server as a new site server.
To connect a site server to another management server:
-
Change the connection destination of the applicable site server.
You can change the connection destination of the site server by using agent setup. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_IT Desktop Management - Agent, Administrator Tools, and then Setup. In Connected managing server of the Setup window that opens, change the IP address of the management server.
- Tip
-
If a password is set for the agent, a dialog box asking for the password opens when agent setup starts.
- Tip
-
If you want to change the connection destination of many site servers, you can add the settings of agents whose destination management server you have changed, and then assign the settings to the applicable computers.
Proceed to step 3 if you do not want to pass the operation log data to the destination computer.
-
If you want to pass the stored operation log data to the destination computer, report the index information for the operation log data to the management server.
On the applicable site server, execute the recreatelogdb command with the -node argument specified.
In this case, proceed to step 4 after executing the command.
- Tip
-
If the command could not be executed, re-execute it after the period of time set in Server Connection Interval of the agent setup elapses (30 minutes is the default setting).
-
If you do not want to pass the operation log data, initialize the database on the site server to delete the data.
From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_IT Desktop Management - Remote Site Server, and then Setup. In the Setup dialog box that opens, select Database Re-creation to perform the operation. In the dialog box indicating the setup is complete, clear Store operation log data in the database of the re-created server.
Also, delete all files and folders under operation-log-data-folder.
The folder indicated by operation-log-data-folder is the folder specified in Operation log data folder during site server setup.
-
Stop the site server service, and delete all data stored for distribution.
On the applicable site server, stop the site server service (JP1_ITDM_Remote Site Service).
In addition, delete all files and folders under the following folder, and then start the site server service:
data-folder\AGC\CDS
The folder indicated by data-folder is the folder specified in Data folder during site server setup.
-
On the destination system, change the server configuration.
In the Settings module (select Server Configuration and then Server Configuration Settings), change site server group settings or server configuration settings as needed for the environment. If necessary, change these settings in the source system.
- Tip
-
If the site server whose connection destination you changed is not displayed in the Edit Site Server Group dialog box in the destination system, confirm that the computer that is used as that server is connected to the network, and then wait a while.
The connection destination of the site server is changed, and you can use the site server in the destination system.
