Adding a new managed set
Add a new managed set to synchronize settings for multiple appliances. A managed set is a grouping of appliances that share the same shareable appliance settings, managed domains and firmware version. Shareable appliance settings and managed domains are propagated to the subordinate appliances from the master appliance.
Before you begin
Verify the names of the DataPower appliances and firmware versions that you want to add to the new managed set.

What to do next
Creating a new managed set might take several minutes to complete. When a new managed set is added, the DataPower appliance manager automatically creates a version of the sharable appliance settings from the master appliance and copies it to any subordinate appliances in the managed set. The firmware version for the managed set might also be automatically deployed to all of the appliances in the managed set that do not already have this firmware version.
After you create a managed set, you can use the administrative console to add, replace, or remove appliances from that managed set.
