6th Step: Registering NetMRI Collectors

To complete the basic Operations Center deployment, run the register command in the administrative shell on each Collector to register them with the newly configured Operations Center.

Managed device licenses are enforced on each of the collectors for the Operations Center, not on the central Operations Center node. The Operations Center node must contain a license encompassing the scope of all licenses between all Collectors.

To register a collector:

Use a terminal program to connect to the management IP address of each Collector appliance.
Log in using the default admin/admin username/password account.
Execute the following administrative shell CLI commands on a newly installed or reset Operations Center appliance:

admin-na206.corp100.com> register
NOTICE: The inactivity timeout is being disabled temporarily while this command is run.

+++ Configuring Tunnel Registration Settings

Registration Server/IP [e.g., example.com]: 10.1.21.2
Registration protocol (http|https) [https]:
Registration username: admin
Registration password:#$^%#*#$

Register this system? (y/n) [y]:y

4. Enter y to establish a secure communication link between the Collector and the Operations Center appliance.

You can migrate from a standalone NetMRI appliance to an Operations Center environment. For more information, see Importing Data From a Reference NetMRI Instance.
