Configuring the client management service for custom client installations

Edit online

The client management service uses information in the client configuration file (client-configuration.xml) to discover diagnostic information. If the client management service is unable to discover the location of log files, you must run the CmsConfig utility to add the location of the log files to the client-configuration.xml file.

Before you begin

Restriction: This procedure applies only to users who installed the Operations Center, backup-archive client, and client management service at a level that is earlier than 8.1.13. If you installed the Operations Center and backup-archive client at version 8.1.13 or later, the client management service is integrated into the backup-archive client. In this case, it is not necessary to configure the client management service for custom installations.

About this task

Before you install the client management service, ensure that a successful connection was established between the backup-archive client and the server. The server truststore file that the client uses does not have the server Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate until the client system has connected to the server.
