Every time that sharable appliance settings are changed, the DataPower® appliance
manager automatically creates a copy of the new shareable appliance settings
as a new settings version. You can view a list of all of the available settings
versions that are available for an managed set, you can change which version
is the active version, or you can copy a version to another managed set.
About this task
To manage the versions of sharable appliance settings for a managed
set, in the administrative console, click managedset_name,
and then, in the Settings section, click . Then complete one or more of the following actions if you
want to display a list of all of the versions of sharable appliance settings
that are available for a managed set, display information about a specific
version, deploy a previous version, or associate a version with another managed
set.
Procedure
- View the list of available versions.
- To change which sharable appliance settings version is the active
version, select a version, and then click . The DataPower appliance manager automatically
synchronizes all of the appliances in the managed set to use the new active
version.
- To view information about a specific version, click the name of
that version.
- To change the description that is specified for a specific version,
click the name of that version and update the field.
- To associate the selected version to another managed set, click
the name of that version, and then, in the Additional Properties section,
click .
- Using the wizard, choose a managed set from the list of managed
sets, and then click
- View the summary information to verify that you have selected
the correct managed set, and then click
The Copy to another Managed Set wizard starts and enables you to
copy the selected version to a different managed set. The sharable appliance
settings are applied to all appliances in this other managed set.
Avoid trouble: After the initial copy of the sharable appliance settings, the
two managed sets are managed independently. Therefore, future changes to the
sharable appliance settings in one managed set are not reflected in the other
managed set.
gotcha
If you click , click the name of the
managed set that you selected in the wizard, and then, in the Settings section,
click , you
should see a new version as the active sharable appliance settings version
for that managed set. The new active version is the version that the Copy
to another Managed Set wizard created during the copy process.
What to do next
Changing the active settings version or copying the settings to
another managed set causes a task to be created. If you want to monitor the
progress of this task, in the administrative console, click
