SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Administrator’s Guide
Editing an Agent’s Name
The Edit Name function allows the administrator to change an inoperable agent’s name in the
Web Management Interface. SonicWALL CDP recognizes agents by agent name, which is the
same as Computer Name.
In order to recover backed up data from an agent that has been rendered inoperable, it is
necessary to change the name of that agent in Web Management Interface to match the name
of a new agent. The new name must be the same as the computer name of the new agent.
Editing an inoperable agent’s name to match a new agent allows Web Management Interface
to recognize the new agent and associate backed up data from the inoperable agent with the
newly assigned agent.
Note
The Edit Name function should only be used to recover data from disabled agents. An
alternate solution is to configure the new agent with the same computer name as the
disabled agent. To change the computer name, right click
My Computer
and select
Properties
. Click the
Computer Name
tab and select
Change
, then type in the computer
name of your previous computer.
