Managed set firmware settings

Use this page to change the firmware on a managed set. You can upload a file from a local or remote file system. The firmware for a managed set, must have the same value for appliance type, model type and licensed features as the devices in the managed set.

Avoid trouble Avoid trouble: Do not use the DataPower 3.6.0.28, 3.6.0.29, or 3.6.0.30 level of firmware for a managed set.gotcha
Typically, when you create a managed set of DataPower appliances, the DataPower appliance manager completes the following process:
  • Creates a shareable appliance settings version from the shareable appliance settings on the master appliance.
  • Synchronizes the settings across the managed set. This synchronization process is repeated whenever the shareable appliance settings change on the master appliance.
Similarly, when a domain is added to a managed set in the DataPower appliance manager, the DataPower appliance manager typically completes the following process:
  • Creates a domain version from the domain on the master appliance.
  • Synchronizes the domain version across the managed set. This synchronization process is repeated every time that the domain changes on the master appliance.

If you use the DataPower 3.6.0.28, 3.6.0.29, or 3.6.0.30 level of firmware for a managed set, the firmware level might cause the DataPower appliance manager to unnecessarily create new shareable appliance settings versions, or domain versions, and then synchronize these new versions across the managed set.
