Agent config tool commands
Command
Syntax
Description
-host
Windows: sisipsconfig -host 
primary[,alternate1,alternate2,...]
UNIX: sisipsconfig.sh –host 
primary[,alternate1,alternate2,...]
Set the IP address or fully qualified host name of 
the primary management server and optional 
alternate management servers used by the agent.
The list of management servers must comprise the 
primary management server, which is always the 
first server in the list. The remaining optional 
servers in the list are considered alternate servers. 
You may specify any number of optional alternate 
management servers.
The management server list that you specify will 
replace the current management server list used by 
the agent. You cannot reorder or edit an existing 
management server list.
The management server host names or IP 
addresses configured for a single agent must be 
Tomcat servers that talk to a single Symantec 
Critical System Protection database. Using 
multiple databases can result in unexpected agent 
behavior.
The management servers must use the same server 
certificate and agent port.
-failbackinterval
Windows: sisipsconfig 
-failbackinterval num_mins
UNIX: sisipsconfig.sh 
-failbackinterval num_mins
num_mins = number of minutes
Default: 60 minutes
Set the fail back interval, in minutes, for the agent 
to try to communicate with the primary 
management server.
Once an agent fails away from the first (primary) 
server in the management server list, the agent 
periodically checks if the first server is back. The 
agent uses a fail back interval to determine when to 
perform this server check.
-view
Windows: sisipsconfig -view
UNIX: sisipsconfig.sh -view
Display all values that are configurable through 
the agent config tool. The configurable values 
include the management server list and fail back 
interval.
