Configuring the Management Service
Jan 31, 2011
The Management Service lets you manage client sessions and perform configuration tasks, such as creating and managing
user accounts and tweaking backup and pruning policies according to your requirements. You can also restart the
Management Service and upgrade the version of the Management Service. You can further create tar files of the
Management Service and the XenServer and send it to technical support.
If a task that you need to perform is not described below, see the list of tasks at the left.
Managing Client Sessions
A client session is created when a user logs on to the Management Service. You can view all the client sessions on the
appliance in the Sessions pane.
In the Sessions pane, you can view the following details:
User Name
The user account that is being used for the session.
IP Address
The IP address of the client from which the session has been created.
Port
The port being used for the session.
Login Time
The time at which the current session was created on the SDX appliance.
Last Activity Time
The time at which user activity was last detected in the session.
Session Expires In
Time left for session expiry.
To view client sessions, on the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then click Sessions.
To end a client session, in the Sessions pane, click the session you want to remove, and then click End Session.
You cannot end a session from the client that has initiated that session.
Configuring Policies
To keep the size of logged data within manageable limits, the SDX appliance runs backup and data-pruning policies
automatically at a specified time.
The prune policy runs at 00:00 A.M every day and specifies the number of days of data to retain on the appliance. By
default, the appliance prunes data older than 3 days, but you can specify the number of days of data that you want to
keep. Only event logs, audit logs, and task logs are pruned.
The backup policy runs at 00:30 A.M. every day and creates a backup of logs and configuration files. By default, the policy
retains three backups, but you can specify the number of backups you want to keep.
