Update a Cloned CA Enterprise Log Manager Server Before Deployment

Use this procedure to update a cloned, virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager server.

A cloned, virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager server retains the host name you gave it during installation. However, the host name for each, active CA Enterprise Log Manager server must be unique within your log collection implementation. So, before you can activate a cloned, virtual server, change the host name and IP address of the server with the Rename_ELM.sh script.

The update script performs actions including the following:

• Automatically stops and restarts the default agent
• Automatically stops and restarts the iGateway service
• Prompts you to change the hostname, IP address, and DNS IP address
• Automatically updates configuration files with encrypted passwords for the various certificates

To update a cloned virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager server

1. Log in to the physical target server as root.
2. Access the Application ISO image or DVD and navigate to the directory, /CA/Linux_x86.

   You can also find the script in the file system of an installed CA Enterprise Log Manager server. The script resides in the directory, opt/CA/LogManager.

3. Copy the script, Rename_ELM.sh, to the target server.
4. Change the information for virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager server with the following command:

   ./Rename_ELM.sh
   

5. Respond to the prompts.
6. Start the virtual machine that contains the updated virtual server.
