Migrating the Primary Data Collector
Move the Data Collector to a dierent server by installing the same Data Collector version on the destination server, and then
moving the required folders from the original Data Collector to the destination Data Collector.
Prerequisites
• The original Data Collector and destination Data Collector must be the same software version.
• The destination server must be running a 64-bit operating system.
For Storage Manager 6.3 and later, the Data Collector does not support 32-bit operating systems. However, you can migrate a
Data Collector from a 32-bit server to a 64-bit server.
• If the original Data Collector is congured to use an external database to store data, the destination server must have
connectivity to the database. If the external database is hosted on the same server, the Data Collector must be congured to use
the database IP address or host name instead of localhost.
Steps
1. Download the Data Collector setup les if you do not have the Data Collector Setup le that matches the version of the
installed Data Collector.
a. Go to www.dell.com/support.
b. Log on to Dell Customer Support or Dell Partner Support.
c. Click Knowledge Center, then download the Storage Manager Data Collector Setup le.
2. Install the Storage Manager Data Collector on the destination server. Make the following selections in the Data Collector Setup
wizard:
• In the Data Collector Type area, select Congure as Primary Data Collector.
• From the Data Source Type drop-down menu, select File System.
• When prompted, create a temporary administrator account.
For detailed instructions, see the Storage Manager Installation Guide.
3. After the Data Collector is installed on the destination server, use the Data Collector Manager to stop the Data Collector
service.
4. On the source server, use the Data Collector Manager to stop the Data Collector service.
5. Copy the \etc folder from the original Data Collector to the destination Data Collector. The default location for the etc folder is:
• 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Compellent Technologies\Compellent Enterprise Manager\msaservice\etc
• 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Compellent Technologies\Compellent Enterprise Manager\msaservice\etc
NOTE: For Storage Manager 6.3 and later, the Data Collector does not support 32-bit operating systems.
However, you can migrate a Data Collector from a 32-bit server to a 64-bit server.
6. If the original Data Collector is version 6.x, copy the contents of the following folder to the appropriate location on the
destination server:
Windows Server 2008 and later: C:\ProgramData\Compellent\EMDC
7. Use the Data Collector Manager to start the Data Collector service on the destination server.
