7.3 Procedure for changing the server role from management server to management relay server

You can change the server role from either management server in a single-server system or primary management server in a multi-server system to management relay server in a multi-server system. To do so, overwrite-install JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager by selecting Management relay server as the Type of Manager to Install. Then, specify the upper management server to which the management relay server is to be connected.

Tip

You cannot change the management server in a cluster environment or a computer on which JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent is installed, to a management relay server.

Note that you cannot change the Manager type when overwrite-installing a management relay server.

To change the server role from management server to management relay server:

On the management server that you want to change to a management relay server in a multi-server system, overwrite-install JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager. At this time, make sure that you install the same version of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager that has already been installed on each server in the multi-server system.

Also make sure that you select Management relay server as the Type of Manager to Install when performing overwrite installation.
Specify the upper management server to which the management relay server is to be connected.

Now you have changed the server role from either the management server in a single-server system or the primary management server in a multi-server system to a management relay server in a multi-server system.

Tip: If you want to upgrade the version of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager when changing the role of the management server, upgrade the version, and then change the type of Manager.

Tip: This tip applies when you change the management server in a single-server system to a management relay server in a multi-server system. In this case, on the primary management server in the multi-server system, you can register the product licenses that were registered on the management server in the single-server system. Note that if you want to manage product licenses on individual management relay servers in a multi-server system, execute the distributelicense command on the primary management server to set the product license information on each management relay server.
