Is it possible to move the agents from one Probe to another Probe? If yes, what is the procedure?

Hi Deepak,

SapphireIMS agent uses the unique system ID generated at the time of discovery, to communicate with the SapphireIMS server (probe server in this case). This is uniqueness is with respect to the probe, not across the probe. So this migration is not feasible. Better to reinstall the agents by pointing to new probe.
