If you want to activate a previously deleted backup proxy, reactivate backup proxy. When you reactivate an instance of backup proxy, backup proxy establishes a persistent connection with Druva Cloud. The backup proxy is no longer disconnected; instead, it performs a backup of the virtual machines across an ESXi or a vCenter Server following the backup schedule.
To reactivate backup proxy
- From the vSphere Client console, click VMs and Templates, and start the backup proxy virtual machine.
- Open a terminal on the virtual machine.
Note: Alternatively, you can use a terminal client such as PuTTY to access the backup proxy virtual machine.
- Log on to the virtual machine.
Note: The default username is root, and the default password is druvaphoenix. If you changed the password, use the changed password.
- Stop the backup proxy process.
- service Phoenix stop (for VMware backup proxy version prior to 7.0.0)
- service Druva-EnterpriseWorkloads stop (for VMware backup proxy version 7.0.0 and later)
- Delete the file.
- Phoenix.cfg available at /etc/Phoenix/VMWARE (for VMware backup proxy version prior to 7.0.0)
- Config.yaml available at /etc/Druva/EnterpriseWorkloads (for VMware backup proxy version 7.0.0 and later)
- Start the backup proxy process.
- service Phoenix start (For VMware backup proxy version prior to 7.0.0)
- service Druva-EnterpriseWorkloads start (for VMware backup proxy version 7.0.0 and later)
