Article Summary

The intention of this article is to introduce the administrator to automatic Actions in GateManager.

The intended audience is Domain Administrators.

With Actions, you can perform firmware upgrades, restore configuration backup’s or parts, of configurations and/or reboot appliances.
An Action is only performed on selected appliances, so there is no danger of creating a firmware upgrade action. You cannot break anything by applying the wrong firmware to an Appliance.
Appliances will not be upgraded before the appliance is selected. However, you can combine Actions and Alerts (see next section).

To create an Action, remember to select the "Actions" icon at the top to make Actions visible in the tree view. Right-click on the domain where the action should be created.


Upgrade firmware on multiple appliances:

  1. Create an Action for all models (TrustGate or SiteManagers) and fill out the information as shown, making allowances for differences in product and/or release:
     
    Note: if there is no firmware listed, then contact the GateManager Server Administrator – firmware maintenance requires Server Administrator rights. 
  2. Now, click the Selected Appliances tab, and select the appliances you want to upgrade:
  3. Press the Save Changes icon to execute the action.
    Appliances that are not currently connected will automatically be upgraded the next time they come online.

Requirements

GateManager must be configured, and SiteManager must be configured and attached to GateManager.
Operational agents must also be configured.
