The following conditions generate a warning but the reconfiguration process continues:
- If any job exists other than a "DB Pruning" job and a "ASDB Protection" job.
- If any member server is added to the domain, that the primary server belongs to.
During the server reconfiguration process, messages are output to a log file named recfgsvr.log. The log is located under the ARCSERVE_HOME\Log directory. The path is usually the following:
C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup\LOG\recfgsvr.log"
Launching ARCserveCfg.exe directly from the command console does not display a return code, because ARCserveCfg.exe is a Windows GUI program. A Windows batch file can be used to get the return code. For example, you can create a batch file with the following content:
Pushd "C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup"
ARCserveCfg.exe –reconfig –arcservedomain mydomain –username administrator –password mypassword –carootpassword mycarootpassword
Echo %errorlevel%
Popd
When you launch this batch file from a command console, you are able to see the return codes from this utility. For a list and description of the return codes, see ARCserveCfg.exe - Return Codes.
