Reconfigure BVD

If—at a later time—you want to modify any of the configuration settings, you can start the configuration wizard again (non-silent mode) or you can modify the configuration .conf file (silent mode).

Prerequisites

  • Embedded PostgreSQL database only. Before reconfiguring BVD, make sure that there are no additional connections to the embedded PostgreSQL database except for the connection from BVD.

    Example: If you have any backup tools running that have an open connection to the PostgreSQL database, reconfiguring BVD will not be possible.

Non-silent BVD reconfiguration

  1. If you previously configured BVD by using the configuration wizard, start the configuration wizard again by running the following command:
  2. Windows: <BVD_Install_Dir>\BVD\bin\configure.bat

    Linux: /opt/HP/BVD/bin/configure.sh

    If you previously configured BVD silently, run the following command to set a password for the configuration wizard:

    Windows: <BVD_Install_Dir>\BVD\bin\configure.bat -p <password>

    Linux: /opt/HP/BVD/bin/configure.sh -p <password>

    You will need to enter this password every time you open the configuration wizard.
    The password must be at least eight characters long, contain one lower-case and one upper-case letter, one digit, and one special character. Special characters should be ASCII characters only.

  1. In a browser, enter the URL:

    http://localhost:5000

    Note: localhost:5000 uses the default port 5000. If this port is already in use, follow the instructions displayed in the command line to identify the correct URL.

  2. Enter the password for the configuration wizard and click Submit.
  3. Modify the settings you want to change in the corresponding configuration page, and click Next until you arrive at the Summary page. Click Download to download your settings as configuration file or Apply to start the configuration.

    Note: You do not need to reupload files. If no files are uploaded, the ones submitted in the previous configuration will be used. This applies to the TLS certificate, the key file, and the license file.

  4. Optional. Check the configuration log file at:

    Windows: <BVD_Data_Dir>\BVD\log\configserver.log

    Linux: /var/opt/HP/BVD/log/configserver.log

Silent BVD reconfiguration

If you want to reconfigure BVD silently instead, complete the following steps:

  1. If you configured BVD silently, modify the configuration .conf file that was used for the previous configuration.

    If you configured BVD by using the configuration wizard, modify the downloaded bvdconfig.conf file. If you did not download the configuration file before, start the configuration wizard again, click Next until you arrive at the Summary page and click Download to save and modify the bvdconfig.conf file.

  2. Run the BVD configuration tool using the modified configuration .conf file as input:

    Windows: <BVD_Install_Dir>\BVD\bin\configure.bat ‑c <file_path>\<config_file>.conf

    Linux: /opt/HP/BVD/bin/configure.sh ‑c <file_path>/config_file>.conf

  3. After the configuration tool completes, verify that the BVD processes are running. Run the following command:

    ovc ‑status

  4. Optional. Check the configuration log file at:

    Windows: <BVD_Data_Dir>\BVD\log\configure.log

    Linux: /var/opt/HP/BVD/log/configure.log
