Administer DataPower appliance domains

A DataPower appliance domain is a group of configuration information for an appliance. By default, these domains are unmanaged. Use the administrative console to change an unmanaged domain to a managed domain, or to change a managed domain to an unmanaged domain. However, we cannot use the administrative console to configure a domain. We must use the DataPower WebGUI to configure a domain. See the DataPower WebGUI documentation for information about configuring a domain.

Use the administrative console to change an unmanaged domain to a managed domain. However, we cannot use the administrative console to configure a domain. Use the DataPower WebGUI to configure a domain. See the DataPower WebGUI documentation for information about configuring a domain.

The DataPower appliance manager synchronizes managed domains from the master appliance to the subordinate appliances in the managed set. However, it is possible that the managed domain might not be completely functional on all of the subordinate appliances. An example of this situation is when a service object, such as an XML firewall, in the managed domain has a listening port conflict on one of the subordinate appliances.

Complete one or more of the following steps to administer domains.

Tasks

1. From the administrative console, click...

           Servers > DataPower > Managed sets > managedset_name.

2. To change an unmanaged domain to a managed domain.

   1. In the Managed Domains section, expand Unmanaged domains.

   2. Select the unmanaged domains to convert to managed domains> Manage.

3. To change an managed domain to an unmanaged domain.

   1. In the Managed Domains section, expand Managed domains.

   2. Select the managed domains to convert to unmanaged domains> Unmanage.

4. To access the DataPower WebGUI and re-configure a managed or unmanaged domain, select the domain to re-configure, and click Launch.

5. To delete a managed domain, select the domain to delete, and click Delete.

If we changed any managed domains to unmanaged, those domains are now listed under Unmanaged domains. Similarly if we changed any unmanaged domains to managed, those domains are now listed under Managed domains.
