This section describes how to change the IP address of a (Master) Management Server to be connected and backup (Master) Management Server with the change of service environment as follows:
Construct a new Management Server and move all the clients (CTs) that belong to the old Management Server to the new Management Server for management.
Move part of the clients (CTs) that belong to the Management Server to other existing Management Servers.
Change the IP address of the Management Server (backup Management Server) to be connected.
Change the IP address of the Management Server (backup Management Server) to be connected and the client (CT).
There are following two methods to change the IP address of the Management Server to be connected.
Change the IP address using files in the Management Server
This can be performed when the version of the client (CT) that requires a change of settings is V14.2.0 or later.
The "File To Be Moved" can be used to set the IP address of the Management Server after moving, the IP address of the corresponding client (CT) and the date of moving, etc., and can save them to the Management Server. The setting content will be notified to the client (CT) as CT policy. By restarting the PC after notification, the Management Server to be connected will be modified.
It is not required to change in each client (CT).
The communication port number used between client (CT) and the Management Server can also be modified at the same time.
Change the IP address using command in the client (CT).
Change of settings can be performed in client (CT) of any version.
Execute command in each client (CT).
Note
Use the same client management password for the Management Server and Master Management Server.
When changing the connection destination Management Server or Master Management Server for the client (CT), use the same client management password as before.
Change IP address using files in Management Server
This section describes how to change IP address in Management Server.
Note
Windows(R) 8 Fast Startup feature
Assume that you are using Windows(R) 8, the Fast Startup feature is enabled, and you shut down before you have logged on. In this case, the transfer target information file and CT operation parameter information file update operations, the CT policy request operation, and the self version upgrade check that are normally performed when a PC starts may not work. To ensure that these operations are performed properly, restart the operating system instead of shutting down.
When this method is used, the management information and logs of old Management Servers will be moved to the new Management Server. Therefore, after they are moved to the new Management Server, the collected logs can also be searched in the old Management Server.
The procedure of moving is as follows:
Construct a new Management Server. For details on the procedure, refer to Systemwalker Desktop Keeper Installation Guide.
Install and update the Management Server that is connected to the old Management Server and add the IP address of the new Management Server. For details on the procedure, refer to "7.8 Change Management Console Environment".
Based on this, the Management Console can be connected to both the old Management Server and the new Management Server temporarily.
Backup management information on the old Management Server.
For management information, refer to "User Asset" of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper Installation Guide.
Restore management information to the new Management Server.
Change server information (Computer name, IP address) in the Server Information Settings window of the Server Settings Tool of the new Management Server.
The IP address will be modified as a value set in the "Server IP Address (CT Management Server)" of the information file to be moved. When the computer name is the same as the old Management Server, no change is required.
For details, refer to "Set Server Information" of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper Installation Guide.
Create the information file to be moved (DTKServerChange.txt) and save the file to the old Management Server.
For details on the information file to be moved, refer to "Information File To Be Moved" of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper Reference Manual.
