I have deployed FileSystem Package to approx. 80 laptops remotely from console and did not selected option to “configure as laptop “.

Now, they are appearing as Server and i want them to appear as laptop.

How can i change the package to configure as laptop?
when i try to add package . the option to “configure as laptop “ does not appear”.

Setting the Laptop Status on Clients

 

You can change the client status of a non-laptop client to a Laptop Client by any one of the following methods:

  • Selecting the Configure for Laptop Backup option when you install the File System Agent.

  • Running qscript enableLaptopBackup with the first parameter set to ON.

    Example:

    qoperation execscript -sn enableLaptopBackup -si 'ON' -si 'clientName'

Hi @singhalyogi ,

There is a flag in the CS SQL DB. 

Let me check and get ack to you.

Hi @singhalyogi ,

I checked with our T2 Server Team, please raise a case as we would need to escalate this to Development so they check the Commserve Database.

Best Regards,

Sebastien

Hi Sebastian,

 

This worked !! only thing is that I had to use qlogin before using this command.

BUT , the client moved to laptop group in Java console and the COmmand center is still showing it as file server. properties in command center did not change.

I restarted tomcat even then it did not changed. any guess?
