PCoIP Management Console User Manual
When a deployment installs a
new version of the MC the PCoIP
Host and Zero Client devices may
loose contact with the MC.
This problem will not occur if the IP address of the
new instance of the MC is the same as the old
version of the MC. Administrators are
recommended to assign a static IP address to the
MC.
If the MC IP address is assigned by a DHCP
Server and the deployment has installed a MC
DNS SRV Record the PCoIP devices will
eventually re-establish contact with the new
version of the MC. The devices will be out of
contact with the MC for up to n seconds, where n
is equal to the value of the Time-To-Live field
included in the MC DNS SRV Record. The
administrator can force the devices to contact the
new MC by resetting the devices. The
administrator can also import the database of the
old version of the MC, which will make the MC
aware of the PCoIP devices in the deployment.
2.6.2
What Information is Imported
When a database is imported into the MC the following information will be populated:
•
Device information for all devices (device details, profile, group and peering
information)
•
Previously imported firmware images
•
Profiles
•
Groups
If the imported database was created by an instance of the MC running release 1.1.x or
higher the following additional information will be populated. Databases created by
release 1.0.x of the MC do not export these settings.
•
MC web interface password
•
MC network configuration settings
•
MC hostname
The following settings are not imported.
•
MC time zone settings
Note: When migrating to a new version of the MC the administrator is responsible for
reconfiguring all of the settings that were not imported.
2.6.3
Database Migration Procedure
This section lists the steps that should be followed when migrating to a new version of the
MC.
1. Use the old version of the MC to backup the current MC database. Refer to section
2. Download the backed up database to a host computer. Refer to section 4.8.1.
