Hello All , I have a requirement would appreciate if you can share your kind comments and suggestions on this.
I have read the following statement "
In case you don't have a backup then check this note:
You can perform a disaster recovery without a database backup, but the following points apply in this case:
All policies must be re-created, or imported from other backups i.e. exported policy files.
Clients will be able to communicate with the SEPM but will re-appear in the console only after their next check-in.
Clients will reappear in the default group as they check in, unless you enable automatic creation of client groups on the re-installed SEPM by editing "scm.agent.groupcreation=true" to the conf.properties file "
I was running SEPM 12.1 RU2 supporting about 600 managed endpoints and have its Server Private Key Backup but unfortunately dont have the backup to restore , so regarding performing DR I have two questions
1. Can I install new SEPM 12.1.5 and then restore this Server Private key Backup taken from SEPM 12.1 RU2 on SEPM 12.1.5 and endpoints will start reporting to it right away and pickup this Server Private Key Backup
2. if the scenerio 1 is not supported/compatible then I would be needing to installing the same SEPM 12.1 RU2 and restore the Server private Key Backup in this scenerio if I enable "scm.agent.groupcreation=true" then as the clients check in would the corresponding group for them will be automatically created for them in new DB and they will reside in it
for example if previously I have two groups i.e GROUP-A and GROUP -B , alice , bob and chuck were part of GROUP-A and Daniel was part of GROUP-B then when I enable this "scm.agent.groupcreation=true"so as clients check back in the new DB will the same groups will automatically created for them ?.
I am going to check it anyways if it works or not do share your suggestions and thoughts on this
Regards,
