When network configuration changes, you may need to update the agent's IP address in your cloud provider and its registered URIs in the Console.

Change the IP address for an agent

You can change the internal and public IP addresses of the agent instance assigned by your cloud provider if needed.

Steps

  1. Follow the instructions from your cloud provider to change the local IP address or public IP address (or both) for the agent instance.

  2. Restart the agent instance to register a new public IP address with the Console.

  3. If you changed the private IP address, update the backup location for Cloud Volumes ONTAP configuration files so that the backups are being sent to the new private IP address on the agent.

    Update the backup location for each Cloud Volumes ONTAP system.

    1. From the Cloud Volumes ONTAP CLI, set the privilege level to advanced:

set -privilege advanced
