Migrating to Dell Management Console 49
Post Migration
After completing migration, do the following:
1 If the Altiris agent is installed on the managed systems, after migration,
the agent tries to access the earlier Dell Management Console 1.x server.
Due to this, you cannot run client tasks and hardware updates (Dell Patch)
on these managed nodes. To enable the agent to access the current server,
from
Action  Agents/Plug-ins  Push Altiris Agent , push the Altiris
agent from Dell Management Console 2.x system to the respective
managed nodes.
2 Set the SNMP settings. For example, SNMP trap destination address,
accept packet from a particular host.
3 After migration, the managed nodes that do not have Altiris agent
installed are assigned to earlier Dell Management Console 1.x task server.
Due to this, you cannot run the Dell tasks against these managed nodes.
To enable the managed nodes to access the current task server, run the
Update Task Service Assignments task from the Settings menu at Settings
Notification Server Task
.
NOTE: If you do not run this task manually, it runs by default daily at 2 AM.
4 If custom proxy is configured, the Altiris Agent may not register to the task
server. To enable registration, in the Internet Explorer Web browser, select
Tools  Internet Options  Connections  LAN settings . Click
Advanced and add the following under
Exceptions :
• http://<localhost>/
• http://<Hostname of Dell Management Console system>
5 If DUP Catalog Import and I nventory Collector Import are run in the
Dell Management Console 1.x server, the related files does not migrate to
the Dell Management Console 2.0 Server. Therefore, the Patch
Management tasks does not function properly.
Run the DUP Catalog Import and Dell Inventory Collector Import tasks
in the Dell Management Console 2.0 server after migration.
