Cannot change Guardium managed collector unit type from "ztap" to "stap"

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you run "show unit type" in the CLI you see that the unit is of type ztap. However the unit is not monitoring a z/OS database so you want to change it to stap. When trying to change the unit type you see the error "The current license does not permit this unit to use the Stap feature".

Diagnosing The Problem

The following is returned from the CLI comand


    show unit type

      Managed Netinsp ztap 

Running this from CLI does not change the unit type.

    delete unit type mainframe

Resolving The Problem

Run the following commands in the CLI unless otherwise stated

1. show license ( and take a copy of the collector license key. )

2. Un-register the collector from the central manager in the collector

    GUI ->Administration Console -> Central Management ->Registration

3. delete unit type mainframe

4. store license console ( and paste in the license key from 1 above again. )

5. Re-register the collector with the central manager in the GUI as per above 2 above
