Changing the host name of the Data Security Management Server

Note  To change both the IP address and host name of a server, you must complete the entire process of updating one before starting to change the other (and wait for all endpoints to be updated).

Websense recommends you perform this task during off hours, or to route traffic around the Websense Data Security infrastructure (disabling connectors, ICAP, etc.).

1.	It is assumed you have already changed the host name of the TRITON management server, if not see Changing host name or domain of the TRITON management server.

2.	Stop the protector:

a.	Log onto the protector as root.

b.	Execute "service pama stop".

3.	On the TRITON management server, launch the Websense installer.

If you chose to keep installer files the last time you ran the installer, you can launch it without re-extracting files by going to Start > All Programs > Websense > Websense TRITON Setup.

4.	In the installer, for Data Security, select the Modify link.

5.	Click Next in the Installation Wizard until you get to Local Administrator.

6.	Choose the new server name and the correct user name (in the form "NEWNAME\UserName").

7.	Start the protector:

a.	Log onto the protector as root.

b.	Execute "service pama start".

8.	Click Next to finish the modification.

9.	(Optional) In TRITON - Data Security, change <New Server Name> in the following places:

a.	Select Settings > System Modules.

b.	Click the Data Security Management Server.

c.	One at a time, click the Endpoint Server, Policy Engine, Forensics Repository, SMTP Agent, PreciseID Database, and Crawler, and change the server name in the Name field.

10.	Click Deploy in TRITON - Data Security.

 

Note  If any endpoints are not connected to the network when settings are deployed, they will not be updated. In this case, you must create a new endpoint package using the package-building tool, and use SMS or a similar mechanism to install the new package on these endpoints. See Deploying Websense endpoints for information on creating and installing an endpoint package.

11.	Verify that new events appear in the traffic log, the system log doesn't display errors, the endpoint status shows that endpoints are synchronized, and that new incidents are written into the data usage incident management screen.
