Removing the connection to the proxy server

If you want the data collector to connect directly to the server, you can remove the connection to the proxy server.

About this task

CAUTION:
Don't remove the connection to the proxy server unless the server where you installed the data collector can directly access IBM Storage Insights. Otherwise, the data collector can't collect data from your data center. All data collectors send metadata to IBM Storage Insights at https://insights.ibm.com:443.

Procedure

  1. Go the directory where you downloaded and extracted the data collector files.
  2. Choose one of the following options:
    • On Windows, run configureProxy.bat
    • On AIX® and Linux®, run configureProxy.sh
  3. Type No when you are asked Does your data collector require a proxy server.
  4. Type Yes when you are asked Do you want to continue to save the configuration data to the setup.properties file.

What to do next

Restart the data collector.
