You
can change the global settings that apply to the DataPower
appliance manager.
About this task
Complete the
following actions to change the global settings that
apply to the DataPower® appliance
manager.
Procedure
- From the administrative console,
click .
- To change the maximum number of domain and settings
versions that
can be stored in the DataPower appliance manager, specify a new value
in the field.
When the value specified in this
field is exceeded, the DataPower
appliance manager does not allow you to create any new versions until
you
delete one or more of the existing versions.
Avoid trouble: If
you decrease the value for this setting, you might lose versions if
the current
number of versions stored exceeds the new maximum number of versions
stored.
gotcha
- To change the directory where
firmware versions, shareable appliance
settings and managed domain versions are saved, specify thet new directory
in the field.
Avoid trouble: If
you change the versions directory,
you must move all of the current versions from the current directory
to the
new directory. This process might take a considerable amount of time,
depending
on how many versions you have, and could keep the appliance manager
from performing
other operations
gotcha
- View the status for
the appliance manager.
The DataPower appliance
manager automatically starts when the deployment manager starts, if
the appliance
manager has appliances to manage. The appliance manager also automatically
starts when a user submits a request to the appliance manager. For
example,
displaying the list of appliances that are defined in the appliance
manager
causes the appliance manager to start if it is not already running.
- In the Operations section, click to export a copy of the
DataPower appliance manager configuration
to a file. This process is useful if you want to create
backup
copies of the appliance manager configuration.
- In
the Operations section, click to import the DataPower appliance manager configuration
from
a file. The file that you import from must reside on the
same system
as the deployment manager.
- If you changed
the maximum number of versions that you want stored,
or you changed the version directory, click to apply your changes.
- Click if
you need to stop the appliance manager.
