Pushing Cluster Configuration Settings

Managing Your Network : Managing Interceptor Clusters : Pushing Cluster Configuration Settings

You can push cluster configuration settings to Interceptors and SteelHeads in the Clusters page: Cluster Operations.

You can also schedule the push to start at a specified date and time and restart the optimization service if required.

During cluster push, some enabled configuration settings from general policy and appliance configuration policies that are assigned to the appliance are pushed.

Note: Cluster pushes fail on the SCC 8.6.0 through 9.2 when you attempt to change the IP Address on the SteelHead in a cluster. You must first delete the path selection rules, load balancing rules, and SteelHeads from the Interceptor, then push the cluster again from the SCC. See the Knowledge Base article S28086 for complete details.
