Register the Data Mover Server with the Primary Server Using regtool

Arcserve Backup lets you register the data mover server with the primary server manually using a command line utility named regtool. You can use this procedure in any of the following scenarios:

• You did not register the data mover server with the primary server when you installed UNIX and Linux Data Mover on the data mover server.
• The registration process did not complete properly.
• You want to register the data mover server with a different primary server.
• You want to unregister the data mover server from the primary server.
• (Optional) You want to unregister data mover servers from the primary server.

• Note: The regtool command line utility cannot unregister data mover servers when the target data mover server is disabled. As an alternative solution, you can unregister disabled data mover servers using Device Configuration. For more information, see Unregister Data Mover Servers Using Device Configuration.

Prerequisite Tasks

• The Arcserve Backup base product must be installed on the primary server.
• Arcserve Backup UNIX and Linux Data Mover must be installed on the target UNIX or Linux server.
• You must know the host names of all data mover servers and the corresponding root passwords for each data mover server.
• Note: By default, you must log into the data mover server using the user name "root."

Syntax

The regtool command contains the following syntax:

regtool [register|unregister|getsvrinfo]
