System configuration<br />

Central management<br />

Central Management system settings<br />

The Central management system settings are used for configuring an appliance as a node in a central<br />

management configuration.<br />

Note: These settings are configured on the Appliances tab of the Configuration top-level menu.<br />

Central Management Settings<br />

Settings for a node in a central management configuration<br />

IP addresses for central management communication — List of IP addresses of the node<br />

The following table describes the list entries. For information on maintaining a list of this type, see<br />

Inline lists.<br />

Table 7-15 IP address list<br />

Option Definition<br />

String String for an IP address of the appliance when it is a node in a central management<br />

configuration<br />

Comment Plain-text comment on a IP address<br />

Timeout for distributing messages to other nodes — Time (10 to 600 seconds) to elapse before<br />

the node makes the next attempt to send a message to another node that has not yet responded<br />

The value for this priority is set on a slider scale.<br />

Advanced Management Settings<br />

Settings for advanced central management functions<br />

Multiplier for timeout when distributing over multiple nodes — Factor to increase the time<br />

interval that has been configured under Timeout for distributing messages to other nodes in the Central<br />

Management Settings section.<br />

The interval can be increased by a value ranging from 1 to 2.<br />

The value is set on a slider scale.<br />

Attempts made for each address of another node to distribute messages — Maximum number<br />

of attempts (1 to 5) the node makes when trying to reach another node under a particular IP address<br />

that has not yet responded<br />

The number is set on a slider scale.<br />

Node priority — Priority (ranging from 1 to 100) that the node takes within the configuration. The<br />

highest priority is 1.<br />

When you add a node to a group of nodes in a Central Management configuration, the nodes that have<br />

a lower priority (a higher value) and are allowed to receive configuration settings from other nodes<br />

receive new settings from this node.<br />

Note: If this is not your intention, you should make sure the nodes that you add have the same priority as the<br />

already existing nodes. In this case, the most recent configuration settings are distributed, either from the<br />

newly added node to the existing nodes or from the node with the most recent settings in the group to the<br />

new node.<br />

The value for this priority is set on a slider scale.<br />

Allow a GUI server to attach to this node — When selected, a server providing an additional user<br />

interface for the appliance is allowed to connect to the node<br />

Allow to attach a GUI server from non-local host — When selected, a server with an additional<br />

user interface that is not running within your network is allowed to connect to the node<br />

GUI control address — IP address and port number of the server that provides an additional user<br />

interface<br />

GUI request address — IP address and port number of this server used when sending requests to it<br />
