How to reconfigure Hyper-V FLR Proxy Settings

How to reconfigure Hyper-V FLR Proxy Settings

Updated yesterday

Problem Description

When the subnet configuration of your environment changes, the Druva File-Level Restore (FLR) proxy for Hyper-V may require an update to its network settings. Without updating the configuration, restores may fail due to network connectivity issues.

Cause

The FLR proxy retains the network configuration from its initial setup. If your network's subnet or gateway changes, the proxy will continue to use the old settings until manually updated.

Resolution Steps

  1. Log in to the FLR Proxy VM Console

    Access the FLR proxy VM through Hyper-V Manager or your preferred console access method.

  2. Navigate to the Phoenix Installation Directory

    Run the following commands:

    cd /opt/Druva/Phoenix/

    ls

    You should see folders such as bin, doc, lib, and sbin.

  3. Open the bin Directory

    Run:

    cd bin

    ls

    Locate the HyperVFLRProxyConf executable.

  4. Run the Configuration Utility

    Execute:

    ./HyperVFLRProxyConf

    The utility will launch and prompt you to select your cloud type. Choose the appropriate option:

    1. Druva Phoenix Public Cloud

    2. Druva Phoenix GovCloud
      ​

  5. Select Network Configuration

    From the menu, choose:

    Network Configuration

    Update your IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to match the new network settings.
    ​

  6. Save and Exit

    After updating, save the configuration and restart the FLR proxy to apply the changes.
