Use this page to add, change, or remove a DataPower® appliance in the DataPower
appliance manager. You can also use this page to view information
about the DataPower appliances
that are in the appliance manager. Adding appliances to a DataPower appliance
manager enables you to automatically keep synchronized the settings
for all
of the appliances that are in a DataPower appliance manager managed
set.
To view this administrative
console page, click .
To
view the values specified for a DataPower appliance,
click the name
of that appliance name in the list of available appliances. The displayed
appliance settings page shows the values specified.
To initiate
an operation on a DataPower appliance, select the name of the
appliance that you want to manage, and click the operation that you
want performed
on that appliance. Click to
access the DataPower WebGUI
in the default domain on the selected appliance. Pop-ups must be enabled
for
your browser.
Specifies the
symbolic name of the DataPower appliance.
An appliance
name must be unique and cannot contain an invalid character.
The name field cannot contain the following characters: # $ @ \ /
, : ; "
* ? < > | = + & % '.
Specifies the operational status of the appliance. The
status is
always unknown if the appliance is not part of a managed set or if
the managed
set has no managed domains. If the appliance is part of a managed
set, the
status reflects the aggregated operational status of all of the managed
domains
on this appliance.
This field is read-only. The
following values might appear in this field:
- up
- Indicates that all of the service objects in all the managed domains
on
the appliance are enabled.
- partial
- Indicates
that the service objects in all the managed domains on the appliance
are a mix of enabled, disabled and unknown.
- down
- Indicates that all of the service objects in all the managed domains
on
the appliance are disabled.
- unknown
- Indicates
that the state of all of the managed domains on the appliance
could not be determined. It is possible that the state has yet to
be retrieved,
or that communication to the appliances has been lost. An appliance
always
has a status of unknown if the appliance is not part of a managed
set, or
if the appliance is part of a managed set that has no managed domains.
Specifies whether the appliances are synchronized
with other appliances
in the managed set.
This field is read-only. The
following values might appear in this field:
- synced
- Indicates that the firmware, sharable appliance settings and managed
domains
for the appliance are synchronized with the active firmware, sharable
appliance
and domain versions for the managed set.
- changes
pending
- Indicates that at least one firmware synchronization,
sharable appliance
settings synchronization, or managed domains synchronization is queued
for
the appliance.
- in progress
- Indicates
that the synchronization is currently being processed. The appliance
has at least one firmware synchronization, settings synchronization,
or
managed domain synchronization active. Other firmware synchronizations,
settings
synchronizations, or managed domain synchronizations might also be
pending
for this appliance.
- unknown
- Indicates
that the synchronization status is not known for at least one
firmware synchronization, settings synchronization, or managed domain
synchronization.
Typically, this status means that the appliance manager has not yet
contacted
the appliance to get the management status. Firmware synchronizations,
settings
synchronizations, or managed domain synchronizations might also be
pending,
or in progress, for this appliance.
- error
- Indicates that an attempt to process a firmware synchronization,
settings
synchronization, or managed domain synchronization for this appliance
has
failed because of an error on the appliance. The appliance did respond,
but
responded with an error. This appliance might also have a management
status
of unknown, in progress or changes pending for a firmware synchronization,
settings synchronization, or managed domain synchronization. See
the error
log for the deployment manager for more information.
- unreachable
- Indicates that an attempt to synchronize
the appliance has failed because
the appliance is not responding. This appliance might also have a
management
status of unknown, in progress, changes pending or error for a firmware
synchronization,
settings synchronization, or managed domain synchronization. See
the error
log for the deployment manager for more information.
