Exporting Clients from a Cell
Chapter 358
Exporting Clients from a Cell
Exporting a client from an Application Recovery Manager cell means
removing its references from the IDB on the Cell Manager without
uninstalling the software from the client. This can be done using the
Application Recovery Manager GUI.
You may want to use the export functionality if you:
• Want to move a client to another cell
• Want to remove a client from the Application Recovery Manager cell
configuration which is no longer part of the network
• Want to fix problems caused by insufficient licenses
By exporting a client from a cell, the license becomes available to
some other system.
Prerequisites Before you export a client, check the following:
✓ All the occurrences of the client have been removed from backup
specifications. Otherwise, Application Recovery Manager will try to
back up unknown clients and this part of the backup specification will
fail. Refer to online Help index: “modifying, backup specification” for
instructions on how to modify backup specifications.
✓ The client does not have any connected and configured disk arrays.
Once the system is exported, it cannot access the disk array or the
VSS functionality.
How to Export? You export a client using the Application Recovery Manager GUI by
performing these steps:
1. In the Context List, click Clients.
2. In the Scoping Pane, click Clients, right-click the client system that
you want to export, and then click Delete. See Figure 3-3.
