Replacing a DataPower appliance
If a problem occurs that makes a DataPower appliance unable to function properly, you can use the DataPower® appliance manager to copy the configuration of that appliance to a different appliance.
Before you begin
Verify that the replacement DataPower appliance:
- Has the same device type, model type, and licensed features as the DataPower appliance that this appliance is replacing. The DataPower appliance manager requires all appliances in a managed set to be homogenous.
- Has been added to the DataPower appliance manager.
About this task

For security reasons, the DataPower appliance manager does not include Crypto material, such as keys and certificates, in the shareable settings and domain versions that it creates. Therefore, the following procedure does not include the restoration of Crypto material. After you replace an appliance, you must manually add the Crypto material for the replacement appliance.
