Data Protector installation not in AD Domain

[Diego Biondo]

Hello Fellows, I have a customer having a DP installation before to DOMAIN implementation, now customer wants to add this DP Cell to domain; i have several concerns:

Current installation will affect after adding this host to DOMAIN ?

Needs to be dumped IDB and all configuration files , uninstall , reinstall after addin to DOMAIN and import all dumped and previous configuration files or they are not needed.

Could you advise best thing to execute here?

Customer has DP 10.03 

Best Regards

Hello @Diego Biondo,

If the domain join results in a host name change of the CM, you can follow the steps to change a Cell Manager name in the first place.

Then, for the devices, clients and backups you may need to re-configure. This includes export and import of the clients (if client name changes). If the client name does not change use omnicc -update_all -force_cs after CM name has been properly changed to reflect this on the clients.

If you have the chance, update the customer to a more recent version of Data Protector before this operation to have better utilities to rename the Cell Manager such as omnicellnamechange.pl.
