Novell ACCESS MANAGER 3.1 SP2 - ACCESS GATEWAY GUIDE 2010 Manual page 77

3 To perform an action available in the Actions drop-down menu, select an Access Gateway, then
select one of the following:
Assign to Cluster: To add the selected Access Gateway to a cluster, select Assign to Cluster,
then select the cluster. This Access Gateway is reconfigured with the configuration of the
primary cluster server. An Access Gateway Appliance can only be added to a cluster of Access
Gateway Appliances. An Access Gateway Service can only be added to a cluster of Access
Gateway Services.
Remove from Cluster: To remove the selected Access Gateway from a cluster, select Remove
from Cluster. The Access Gateway retains its configuration from the cluster, but no traffic is
sent to it until it is reconfigured. You can assign it to a different cluster and have it updated with
this cluster's configuration, or you can delete all of its reverse proxies and start a new
configuration.
Delete: To remove the selected Access Gateway server from the list of servers that can be
managed from this Administration Console, select Delete. If the Access Gateway is a member
of a cluster, you must first remove it from the cluster before you can delete it.
IMPORTANT: When an Access Gateway is deleted from the Administration Console, you
can no longer manage it. To access it again, you must manually trigger an auto-import, which
causes it to import into an Administration Console.
Schedule Restart: To schedule when the selected Access Gateway should be stopped and then
started, select Schedule Restart. On an Access Gateway Appliance, a restart stops the operating
system, then starts the operating system and the Access Gateway. On an Access Gateway
Service, a restart stops the Access Gateway Service, then starts it. For information on how to
schedule this command, see
Schedule Stop: To schedule when the selected Access Gateway or cluster should be stopped,
select Schedule Stop.
When you stop an Access Gateway Appliance, you shut down the Access Gateway
Appliance and the operating system. You must have physical access to the machine to start
it again.
When you stop an Access Gateway Service, you stop just the Access Gateway Service.
You can use the Restart option to start it again.
For more information on how to schedule this command, see
Command," on page 81
Purge List Now: Click Purge List Now to cause all objects in the current purge list to be
purged from the cache of the selected server or cluster.
Purge All Cache: Click Purge All Cache to purge the server cache for the selected server or
cluster. All cached content is lost.
When you make certain configuration changes such as updating or changing certificates,
changing the IP addresses of Web servers, or modifying the rewriter configuration, you are
prompted to purge the cache. The cached objects must be updated for users to see the effects of
such configuration changes. If your Access Gateways are in a cluster, you need to manage the
purge process so your site remains accessible to your users. You should apply the configuration
changes to one member of a cluster. When its status returns to healthy and current, issue the
command to purge its cache. Then apply the changes to the next cluster member.
IMPORTANT: Do not issue a purge cache command when an Access Gateway has a pending
configuration change. Wait until the configuration change is complete.
