Sync RPAgent Configuration

The sync_rpagent.sh script in the <installation_directory>/cluster_utils/ directory, updates the RPAgent configuration and the certificates across the nodes in the cluster. For example, if you want to make any changes to the RPAgent conifguration, make the changes on the Lead node and then propagate the change to all the nodes in the cluster using the sync_rpagent.sh script.

1. Log in to the lead or the Primary node.

2. Navigate to the <installation_directory>/cluster_utils/ directory.

3. To replicate the RPAgent configuration from the lead node to all the nodes, run the following command:

   ./sync_rpagent.sh
   

4. Press ENTER.

   The prompt to continue appears.

   **********************************************************************
   Welcome to BDP Script for Cloning RPAgent Configuration & Certificates
   **********************************************************************
   
   This will clone deployed RPAgent configuration & files from lead node
   to all other nodes.
   
   Do you want to continue? [yes or no]:
   

5. To continue, type yes.

6. Press ENTER.

   The prompt to enter the location of the Private Key file appears.

   Enter the path of the Private Key (.PEM) file:
   

7. Enter the location of the Private Key file.

8. Press ENTER.

   The script stops the RPAgent on all the nodes, creates a backup, updates the configuration, and restarts the RPAgent on all the nodes.
