Resynching Appliances

The Global Management System keeps its database synchronized with the appliances’ running configurations.

n	When you use GMS to make a configuration change to an appliances’ running configuration, the appliance responds by sending an event back to the GMS server to log, thereby keeping the GMS and appliance in synch.

n	Whenever an appliance starts or reboots, the GMS automatically inventories the appliances to resync.

n	Whenever the GMS restarts, it automatically resyncs with the appliances.

n	When an appliance is in a Maintenance or OutOfSync management state, the GMS server resyncs with it as it comes back online.

If your overall network experiences problems, then you manually resynch to ensure that the GMS has an appliance’s current running configuration.

w	To manually resync the GMS server with the appliances’ configuration database

Select the appliance(s) and choose Maintenance > Resync.
