How to back up SQL/SP GLR when VM is already backing up with Vcenter?
I have numerous VM servers I am already backing up local drives via Vcenter VMware integration. As such, they are part of Avamar's vcenter domain.
These servers also have SQL and/or SharePoint databases that I also need to back up with the GLR plug-in. Problem is the GLR plug-in first requires the Client local plug-in to be installed however when I try to install the client plug-in, I get the error message that it cannot register the server and the client is already activated on another MC domain which it is under the VMware domain.
How can I resolve this and get the client plug-in and SQL or SP plug-in installed on the server in order to perform GLR DB backups?

Set the following value to true in mcserver.xml file and restart MCS
grep "dupl" /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml

Thank you!
Looks like I can also SFTP to avamar node and browse to that mcserver.xml file and edit it directly there (right click on file, edit then save) after downloading a backup of the file first of course.
Then within putty, after ensuring no backups are running, I can restart the mcs service with "dpnctl mcs restart".
Correct?
Thank you!
