Discover Client Agent Systems with Non-default IP Addresses

If you select a non-default IP address for a client agent node, you must perform the following procedure to update the IP address to the new address, to allow you to add machines using Add/Import/Export Nodes.

To discover client agent systems with non-default IP addresses

  1. On the agent machine, restart the discovery service using dsconfig.exe.
  2. From the Backup Manager of the base server, delete the old machine object.
  3. Click Add/Import/Export Nodes and add or import the nodes that you require.

    Add/Import/Export Nodes Option

    Note: For more information, see Add, Import, and Export Nodes Using the User Interface.

  4. If you have a scheduled job in the queue, delete that job and recreate it to ensure that it runs properly.
