Direct connect core to server(s)

Corrigun
over 6 years ago

Have any of you tired this? I though of setting up a practice DR destination server in the rack and connect it directly to the core with a dedicated switch or crossover cable to keep it off the LAN. It then it occurred to me I could actually connect all of my servers back to the core each on it's own NIC to keep backup overhead off the LAN.

Thoughts?

    It's easier than that. Just go into the settings on the agent and change the hostname to the new IP. The core will use the new IP to connect to the agent. As long as the network is there to use and the core can connect to the agent on that IP, it will act like nothing changed. If the networking is set up wrong, the agent will go offline until the networking is fixed and functional.

    DO NOT REMOVE THE MACHINES FROM PROTECTION. That forces a new base image because it tells the protected machine to stop logging changes.
