Booster ID Generation

Description

If cloned Booster VMs keep the same Booster ID, FileWave may show one Booster as missing or let multiple Boosters overwrite the same Booster record. Regenerate the ID on each clone so every Booster enrolls as a separate record.

Regenerate the Booster ID when IDs conflict.

Directions

Run the following command in a Booster shell to remove the existing Booster identity files and generate a new Booster ID.

Linux & macOS

fwcontrol booster stop && rm -f /etc/xdg/FileWave/Booster.conf && rm -f /var/FWBooster/*.key && rm -f /var/FWBooster/*.crt && fwcontrol booster start

After the Booster restarts, use 'Enroll Booster(s)' from its contextual menu, even if it was enrolled before.
