How to Update the Data Flow Probe's IP Address

This task describes how to configure a Data Flow Probe if its IP address has changed.

To change the IP address of a Data Flow Probe:

1. Update the Probe properties

   In C:\hp\UCMDB\Data Flow Probe\conf folder:

   • Open the DataFlowProbe.properties file and update the following properties:

     • appilog.collectors.local.ip

     • appilog.collectors.probe.ip

     For more details about these properties, see DataFlowProbe.properties Parameters.

   • Open the probeMgrList.xml, locate the line that starts with <probeMgr ip= and update the Probe Manager machine name or IP address, for example:

     <probeMgr ip="OLYMPICS08">

2. Stop the Probe

   • To stop the Probe when it is running as a service, select

     Start > All Programs > UCMDB > Stop Data Flow Probe

   • To stop the Probe when it is running in a command prompt window (the console), press CTRL+c, then y.

3. Clear the data from the Probe

   For details, see How to Clear Data Flow Probe Data.

   Note The clearProbeData script resets the Data Flow Probe's DB schemas and file system state. After running this script the Data Flow Probe re-sends all discovered data to UCMDB. This could potentially create a significant load on the UCMDB Server.

4. Restart the Probe

   To restart the Probe from the Start window or from the console, see How to Start a Data Flow Probe.
