Applies To:
DynaCenter 4.6 and later
Background:
The mws_url setting must point to the location of the DynaCenter parking depot when one of the following is true:
• You are using the DynaCenter Console to migrate servers
• You are using a driving application that has been integrated with DynaCenter to migrate servers
If the mws_url setting in the dpad.ini file does not point to the DynaCenter parking depot, the DynaCenter Agent (DPAD) cannot operate correctly and DynaCenter operations will not complete successfully.
More Information:
If you are not using the DynaCenter Console or a driving application integrated with DynaCenter to migrate servers, see How To: Configure the mws_url to Point to the MWS for information on how to configure the mws_url to point to the Management Workstation (MWS).
Resolution:
The rpackagedpad command creates custom agent installation packages. The agent installation packages include the mws_url so that manually editing the dpad.ini is not necessary.
To create agent installation packages:
1. On the MWS and as a user with root privileges, run the following command to create the agent installation packages that connect source servers to the MWS:
rpackagedpad <network_name> depot://park
Where <network_name> is the name of the registered network where source servers are located.
2. Confirm that the following agent installation packages have been placed in /opt/race/mws/software/packages/agent:
• Windows package: park-<network_name>-dpsetup.exe
• Linux package: park-<network_name>-racemi-blademgmt-linux-2-6-<dynacenter_version>.sh
Note: The Linux package is only compatible with Red Hat and Red Hat-based operating systems.
3. Copy the appropriate agent installation file to the source server and run the file to install the DynaCenter agent.
