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. Access Gateway Appliance can only be added to a cluster of Access Gateway Appliance. Access Gateway Service can only be added to a cluster of Access Gateway Service. |
Remove from Cluster |
To remove the selected Access Gateway from a cluster, select Remove from Cluster. 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 a selected Access Gateway from the list of servers that can be managed from this Administration Console, select Delete. If Access Gateway is a member of a cluster, you must first remove it from the cluster before deleting it. IMPORTANT:When an Access Gateway is deleted from Administration Console, you cannot manage it. To access it again, manually trigger an auto-import. |
Scheduled Restart |
To schedule when a selected Access Gateway must 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 Access Gateway. On an Access Gateway Service, a restart stops Access Gateway Service, then starts it. For information about how to schedule this command, see Scheduling a Command. |
Scheduled Stop |

Purge List Now |
Click this to purge all objects in the current purge list from the cache of the selected server or cluster. |
Purge All Cache |
Click this to purge the server cache for the selected server or cluster. All cached content is cleared. When you change certain configuration 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 configuration changes. If Access Gateways are in a cluster, you need to manage the purge process so your site remains accessible to your users. You must apply 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. |
Update Health from Server |
Click this to send a request to the server for updated health information. If you have selected multiple servers, a request is sent to each one. The health status changes to an animated circle until the reply returns. |
