On the command line of the Engine, you can use the Engine Configuration Wizard to change settings that were defined during the installation of the
Engine.
The Engine Configuration Wizard also allows you to re-establish a trust relationship between the Engine and the Management Server if the trust is lost.
Note: On Engines that are fully configured, you can change each setting individually without changing the other settings. All steps are optional.
Steps
-
Start the Engine Configuration Wizard using one of the following commands:
sg-reconfigure --no-shutdown
— The Engine Configuration Wizard starts without shutting down the Engine. You cannot change network interface
settings in this mode.
sg-reconfigure
— The Engine shuts down and the Engine Configuration Wizard starts. All options are available if you have a local connection. If you
have a remote SSH connection, you cannot change network interface settings.
