DataSync vmware agent port 80 still not open

Question

Hello, 
I am testing DataSync solution to migrate data from onprem to S3.
After a successful test of the solution that I created manually, I wanted to automate the setup and configuration of the solution using terrafom.For that I had to delete the agent from Aws datasync console. Now when I want to activate it again I am getting an error that the agent is unreachable (agent port 80 is still closed). Could you please help me understand why port 80 is still closed  and what should I do to fix this issue? thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Under normal conditions deleting the agent from the DataSync console will trigger the deployed agent to enter re-activation mode.  You can check by looking at the local console to determine if you can retrieve new activation key.  If it is not set for activation you could first try to reboot the agent.

If there was an inability to communicate with the DataSync agent at the time the activated agent was deleted from the DataSync console then it is possible the agent was not sent a re-activation.  In this case it would be best to redeploy the agent.
