PCoIP Management Console User Manual 3.4.3 3.5 • Static IP addressing: If you choose static IP addressing, you must configure the MC IP address and subnet mask. The gateway address, broadcast address and domain are optional and can be left blank. After you update the IP address settings, the MC restarts the network interface using the new settings. Configure DNS The Configure DNS option lets you configure the Domain Name Server(s) and search domain(s) used by the MC. The MC queries the DNS Server(s) to determine if the MC DNS SRV record and connection broker DNS SRV record are present. The status of these records appears in the site status on the Home webpage. See section 4.9 for details. Note: When the MC is configured to use DHCP, the DNS settings configured here may be overwritten by the settings configured in the DHCP server. Database Management The MC maintains a database containing information on the discovered PCoIP devices, configuration data, such as device name, and other information such as firmware images that can be downloaded to PCoIP devices. The MC VM console supports commands that let you back up and restore this database. You should use this feature when you upgrade the MC. Before you install the new version of the MC: 1. Back up the MC database. 2. Export the database to an external PC. 3. Install the new version of the MC. 4. Import the backed up database. Select the Manage database option shown in Figure 3-1 to access these commands. Figure 3-3 shows the MC Manage database options. TER0812002 Issue 9 38

Static IP addressing:

If you choose static IP addressing, you must configure the MC

IP address and subnet mask. The gateway address, broadcast address and domain are

optional and can be left blank. After you update the IP address settings, the MC

restarts the network interface using the new settings.

3.4.3

Configure DNS

The

Configure DNS

option lets you configure the Domain Name Server(s) and search

domain(s) used by the MC. The MC queries the DNS Server(s) to determine if the MC DNS

SRV record and connection broker DNS SRV record are present. The status of these records

appears in the site status on the

Home

webpage. See section 4.9 for details.

Note: When the MC is configured to use DHCP, the DNS settings configured here may be

overwritten by the settings configured in the DHCP server.

3.5

Database Management

The MC maintains a database containing information on the discovered PCoIP devices,

configuration data, such as device name, and other information such as firmware images that

can be downloaded to PCoIP devices. The MC VM console supports commands that let you

back up and restore this database. You should use this feature when you upgrade the MC.

Before you install the new version of the MC:

Back up the MC database.

Export the database to an external PC.

Install the new version of the MC.

Import the backed up database.

Select the

Manage

database option shown in Figure 3-1 to access these commands. Figure

3-3 shows the

MC Manage database

options.
