PCoIP Management Console User Manual
could be related to profiles. The figure shows three groups of devices. Two of the groups
share the same profile. In this situation all configuration settings defined in the
Development Profile
will be written to the devices in the
R&D
and
Engineering
groups.
Figure 1-2: Management Console Groups and Profiles
Below are some important rules regarding
groups
and
profiles
.
•
Each group has one and only one profile associated with it.
•
The same profile can be associated with multiple groups.
•
All configuration settings in a profile are written to all devices in a group when the
profile is applied to the group.
•
A profile can contain values for every configuration parameter but this is not
required. A profile can be defined that contains a subset of the configuration
parameters.
•
If the firmware on a device is updated when a profile is applied the profile
settings will be written to the device after the new firmware is activated.
•
Profiles contain settings that allow users to specify whether a device’s firmware is
updated based on the version of the firmware running on the device.
•
When profile settings are written to devices the settings might not take effect
immediately. Some settings are activated after a device is reset. Profile settings
that require a reset are preceded by the symbol within the MC Profile Set
Properties and Device Details web pages. Users should consider resetting all
devices in the deployment after updating device configuration settings.
•
When devices are added to a group and the group profile has not changed, the
profile should be applied to the newly added devices and not the entire group.
This will minimize the number of device resets.
