Modify the Reinstall After Crash (RAC) Policy (Wipe and Reload Migration Only)

Note: The following procedure is applicable only for Wipe and Reload migrations. Before activating wipe and reload migrations, you must perform the following procedure.

Automated migration requires update to the RAC policy of the domain manager and target computers for the migration to work properly. The RAC policy of the target computers is automatically disabled during migration and is reset to the original value after migration. However, you must manually modify the policy of the domain manager.

To modify the RAC policy at the domain manager

1. Connect to the domain manager from DSM Explorer and navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Configuration Policy, Policy Name, DSM, Software Delivery, Manager.

   Policy Name

   Refers to the configuration policy applied on the domain manager computer.

   All the software delivery configuration policies related to the domain manager are displayed.

2. Modify the value of the following policies:
   1. Set the value of RAC: Policy to True.
   2. Set the value of RAC: Automation setting to 0. This policy must be locally managed so that automated migration can change the RAC policy at the target computers automatically. If the policy is centrally managed, change it to locally managed before activating migration. You can reset it to the original value after the migration is complete.

   The settings help ensure that the installation history is removed from the target computers and the SD job containers are not created by the domain manager.

3. Save and seal the policy.
