Edit DSA IP Addresses

Data flows to Harvesters, then to the NFA console and web display.

Applies to: Three-tier architecture in a distributed deployment: NFA console, Harvester, and DSA components installed on separate servers

Edit the IP Address setting for a Data Storage Appliance (DSA) when you:

Change the IP address for a current DSA--a DSA that is already in use and that is not moving to a different server
Start using a DSA on a new server in place of a retired DSA
Do not add a new DSA instance instead of editing the IP address of the retired DSA. In this case, routers continue to send data to the retired DSA--and that data is not available in reports.

Notes: These tasks apply only to:

Three-tier distributed deployments of CA Network Flow Analysis. If you have a stand-alone system or two-tier architecture, you do not define or update DSA IP addresses.
Windows servers. CA Network Flow Analysis supports DSAs on Windows servers only.
Servers that have static IP addresses and that are not configured to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
