I have installed Linux Forwader to a host and without issues. Agent started and reported to Management host fine.
Linux server with forwarder however, has two networking adapters one for management and access and other for Storage Network. Forwarder unfortunately registered using IP address assigned to Storage network which is not routable and not accessible form the management host. Does anyone know if there is an agent setting (or any other file for that matter) that can be modified so that Agent reports to the management host with an alternate IP address
Yes, you can set this as a property - it's in the boot.properties file, you need to add to the sysprops line.
Steps:
1. Go to the scripts folder and run NetworkList.sh (if it's windows, NetworkList.bat).
2. This will give you a list of all your interfaces, normally labelled eth0, eth1, eth2 etc. Take a note of the network device you want to use - in this example we'll assume it's eth3
3. Open the boot.properties file, find the sysprops line and at the end of the line, add this: -Dnet.iface=eth3
4. Save the boot.properties, restart the Forwarder
On the agents page, you can always check which networkInterface you're currently using by looking in the agent properties for the networkInterface
For a little more info on sysprops you can apply, check out this part of the documentation
