Issue/Introduction

The procedure explained in this document can be used to move a Scalability Server from one Domain Manager to another.

Environment

Client Automation - All versions

Resolution

The following commands have to be executed directly on the Scalability Server:

1. cserver unregister
2. cserver config -h <new_manager> -j
3. cserver register -a
4. caf register all
5. caf stop
6. caf start

Once the Scalability Server is registered to the new Domain Manager, run the following command:

caf setserveraddress

The output of this command should be "localhost". If it shows the name of the Domain Manager or anything else, then the following command has to be executed:

caf setserveraddress localhost

Additional Information

Sometimes it takes a while for the move operation to complete based on the number of records for the SS (Agents, Packages, History, etc.). During this process, the server may be in ‘Locked by Move' state, during it, is not possible to send any jobs to this particular machine. For more information, the following article can be reviewed:
