7.7 Procedure for switching the management server to which an agent connects

To switch the management server to which an agent connects:

1. Display the Settings module.

2. In the menu area, select Agent and then Agent Configuration and Installation Set Creation.

3. In the information area, click the Edit button for the agent configuration whose management server you want to switch.

4. Under Management server in the Basic Settings area of the Edit Agent Configuration dialog box, specify the host name or IP address of the new management server in Host name or IP address.

   The value you specify in Host name or IP address depends on the item selected in Settings for Address Resolution during setup.

   When Host name is selected in Settings for Address Resolution:

   • Specify a host name.

   • In an environment that uses a DNS server, specify a fully qualified domain name (consisting of the host name followed by a period and then the domain name).

   • If the management server incorporates multiple network adapters that connect to the same segment, specify the name of the host with the highest priority in the binding order in the OS of the management server.

   When IP address is selected in Settings for Address Resolution:

   • Specify an IP address.

The management server to which the agent connects is changed.

Important note

Immediately after you switch the management server, the status of agent configuration assignment will be indeterminate. After registering the device information for agents whose management server was switched, you must assign the agent configurations again.
