Managing Appliances

You can now manage other appliances from the Web Management Console. This feature is helpful when you have multiple appliances; and you can manage these appliances from a single console.

One appliance is designated as the master appliance, which is used to manage other appliances.

The following features are available as part of managing appliances:
  • Appliances can be registered and unregistered with the master appliance.
  • Resource utilization details of each of the appliances can be viewed from the master appliance. For more information about the Resource Utilization Graph, see About the Resource Utilization Graph.
  • Projects that are published, and the status of each project/orchestration on each of the appliances can be viewed from the master appliance.
  • Upgrade of each of the registered appliances can be performed from the master appliance.
  • Supports both physical and virtual appliances.
  • Supports Cast Iron® version 7.0 and earlier versions (6.0.0.x, 6.1.x.x, 6.3.x.x, 6.4.x.x) for managing and monitoring. The earlier version of Cast Iron must be on the required patch level for using this feature.
  • Users of the master appliance must have administrator privileges to use this feature.
  • This feature is also available when the appliance is configured with high availability.
