Updating a federated collector
Any federated collectors from versions earlier than 4.0 must be shut down and
replaced with the new federated collector. To prevent having to remap existing
collections to the new collector, reuse the previous Collector Display Name for
the new collector.
To keep the same display name for the new collector:
1. Log on to the VMware client as an administrator.
2. Open the VMware console for the collector appliance.
3. Type configure at the login prompt, and then run the time zone
configuration.
4. After configuring the time zone, note the collector's name.
5. In the VMware client, shut down and delete the old collector.
6. Extract the contents of the Collector .zip archive file.
7. In the VMware client, deploy the new federated collector appliance from the
OVF template.
8. Power on the federated collector, and then configure it through the console
with your network settings.
9. Log on to the administration website of the new collector
(https://ipAddress:5480).
10. Click the SolarWinds Data Collector tab.
11. In the Collector Timezone field, select the time zone of the main
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager.
