Large-scale Deployment Workflow
When you define a SmartLSM profile for a gateway or cluster in SmartDashboard, you can use
SmartProvisioning to provision multiple gateways.
Workflow for large-scale deployments:
1. Create the necessary profiles for your deployment groups (gateways or clusters of gateways)
in SmartDashboard.
2. Install the Security Policy in SmartDashboard.
3. Create the actual cluster or gateway objects in SmartProvisioning based on the SmartLSM
profiles defined in SmartDashboard. For more details, see SmartProvisioning on page
28 .
4. Configure the relevant appliances with the First Time Configuration Wizard.
Or
Use a USB drive to quickly configure multiple appliances without the First Time Configuration
Wizard. For more details, see Deploying from a USB Drive.
5. Manage the appliance settings in SmartProvisioning.
