To specify the devices that need content from this Satellite, configure the
Closest Server Rules
setting in the
Management Zone
settings on the
Configuration
page.
1
Select the check box next to
Content
, click
Configure
, then click
Add
.
Fill in the fields:
Content Type:
Select a Content Type (for example,
Policy
,
Non-Patch Bundles
, or
System
Update
Server).
NOTE:
If you choose
Imaging
as the
Content Type
and configure the settings to replicate the
Imaging content, these settings are automatically reflected in the Configure Imaging Content
Replication dialog box invoked while configuring the Imaging role to the device. Similarly, the
Imaging content replication settings configured while configuring the Imaging role to a device
are automatically reflected in the Configure Content Type Replication dialog box invoked
while configuring the Content role with the Imaging content type to the device.
Throttle (in KB/sec):
Select the throttle rate. This rate specifies the maximum rate at which
content is replicated. The actual rate can be lower, depending on other factors, including the
number of downloads.
Duration:
Click the up-arrow or down-arrow to set the content update duration period in
minutes. Depending on the Schedule Type and its options you select, you need to be aware of
the following:
The
End Time
setting in all three scheduling types (
Days of the Week
,
Month
, and
Fixed
Interval
) is not the true end time when the content update stops processing. The end time
specifies the end of the time period during which an update can start.
If you select
Days of the Week
or
Month
and set a random start and end time, the update
starts between these times and continues for the specified duration. For example, if the
Duration
is set at the default of 60 minutes and the update starts 10 minutes before the
specified end time, content is updated for the entire 60 minutes. The same concept applies
for the
Fixed Interval
schedule. If
Duration
is set at the default of 60 minutes and the end
time does not allow enough time for the specified duration, content is updated for the
entire 60 minutes.
If the Primary Server contains too much content to update during the specified duration,
the update continues at the next regularly scheduled time. Content that already exists on
the Satellite device is not updated again. Content that was not updated during the previous
update and any new content added to the Primary Server is updated.
Schedule Type:
Select a schedule for how often you want the Satellite’s content to be updated
from the parent Primary Server:
No Schedule:
If you select
No Schedule
, content is never automatically updated from the
parent Primary Server. To manually replicate the content run the
zac wake-cdp (cdp)
command on the Satellite.
Recurring:
Select
Days of the Week
,
Monthly
, or
Fixed Interval
, then fill in the fields. For
more information, see
Section B.4, “Recurring,” on page 365
.
Be aware that the cleanup action for content occurs every night at midnight.
If you do not set a schedule for a particular type of content, the
<Default>
schedule applies to
all content of that type.
