Is there a way to change from Laptop client to file Server? Maybe a qscript?

Do you have to uninstall and re install the agent to fix this?

Hi Iman,

What's the status after reinstalling agent?

You may also try to release and reconfigure client license once to refresh the client configuration.

HI @Iman 

You can install File system package on existing laptop client to consume FS license and that will consider the laptop client as file server.


But why are we changing laptop to FS server ? is there requirement to backup file system instead of using file system core.

This was configured as laptop by mistake. it does have FS core and FS installed on it. I did run qoperation execscript -sn enableLaptopBackup -si 'OFF' -si 'ServerName' but it didnt look like it worked. I had also asked the client to re install without the laptop option.

Thank you.
