Repeat Setup

If you encounter problems with the vCAS, then rerun the vCAS setup script. Rerunning the vCAS setup
script can clear-up problems with the appliance. You can invoke the setup again from the web UI, but it is
easier to run from the command line. Log on to a command shell on the appliance or use the console
window, and invoke the

cassetup

command.  Use the hp-admin account or any other account with root

privileges.

To get cassetup help, use the -h switch:

sudo cassetup -h

To re-apply all current settings, use batch mode (-b):

sudo cassetup -b

To get the setup questions and run it without any options. It will prompt you for initial setup options:

sudo cassetup

Preserve and Restore vCAS Settings

vCAS settings are located in the four files contained in the

/etc/rda directory

:

/etc/rda/access_control.conf

Access Control settings

/etc/rda/alert_control.conf

Email Alert settings (some)

/etc/rda/ca-certificates.conf

Certificate Authorities

/etc/rda/remcon.conf

Master settings for the appliance

To edit the contents of these files, use the setup tools in the web UI or the command line.

You can save the settings by saving these files to another system. You can also restore them to the same
or another vCAS. 

After you edit these files, run cassetup -b to apply your changes.

Start Fresh

It is easy to setup a vCAS. If you encounter problems, then delete the older vCAS appliance, and then
install and configure the new appliance using the same settings as before. This usually takes a few
minutes. Every time you complete this step, remember to select a new random MAC address for the
vCAS's network interface.
