2.  In the list of nodes, select the nodes you want to synchronize. Use 

Ctrl+click to select multiple items. 

3.  Click Synchronize. If the virtual infrastructure had changed since the 

last synchronization, the information in CC-SG updates. 

ƒ

  The Configured in Secure Gateway column shows the number of 

virtual machines or hosts that are configured in CC-SG. 

ƒ

  The Last Synchronization Date shows the date and time of the 

synchronization. 

ƒ

  The Node Status column shows the status of the virtual node. 

 

Enable or Disable Daily Synchronization of the Virtual Infrastructure 

You can configure an automatic synchronization of CC-SG with your 
virtual infrastructure. The automatic synchronization occurs daily at the 
time you specify. 

 

To enable daily synchronization of the virtual infrastructure: 

1.  Choose Nodes > Virtualization. 

2.  Select the Enable Daily Automatic Synchronization checkbox. 

3.  Enter the time when you want the daily synchronization to occur in 

the Start Time field. 

4. Click 

Update. 

 

To disable daily synchronization of the virtual infrastructure: 

1.  Choose Nodes > Virtualization. 

2.  Deselect the Enable Daily Automatic Synchronization checkbox. 

3. Click 

Update. 

 

Reboot or Force Reboot a Virtual Host Node 

You can reboot or force reboot the virtual host server. A Reboot 
operation performs a normal reboot of the virtual host server when it is in 
maintenance mode. A Force Reboot operation forces the virtual host 
server to reboot, even if the server is not in maintenance mode. 

To access these commands, you must have the Node In-Band Access 
and Node Power Control privilege. You must also be in a user group that 
is assigned a policy to access the node you want to reboot or force 
reboot. 

 

To reboot or force reboot a virtual host node: 

1.  Select the virtual host node you want to reboot or force reboot. 

2.  Click the Virtual Host Data tab.
