Modify DataPower appliance manager settings
We can change the global settings that apply to the DataPower appliance manager.
Complete the following actions to change the global settings that apply to the DataPower appliance manager.
Procedure
- From the admin console, click...
Servers > DataPower > Appliance manager settings.
- 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 Maximum number of versions to store 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. 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.
- To change the directory where firmware versions, shareable appliance settings and managed domain versions are saved, specify thet new directory in the Versions directory field. If you change the versions directory, 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 we have, and could keep the appliance manager from performing other operations
- View the status for the appliance manager.
The DataPower appliance manager automatically starts when the dmgr 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 > Export to export a copy of the DataPower appliance manager configuration to a file. This process is useful to create backup copies of the appliance manager configuration.
- In the Operations > Import to import the DataPower appliance manager configuration from a file. The file that you import from must reside on the same system as the dmgr.
- If you changed the maximum number of versions that you want stored, or you changed the version directory, click Apply to apply your changes.
- Click Shutdown Manager if you need to stop the appliance manager.
