4.2.3 Query Devices and Update Database
The MC database contains a snapshot of each device’s configuration settings. The MC
automatically queries each device once an hour and updates its internal database. Users
wishing to force the tool to refresh its internal copy of the device settings can do this
using the Update box on the upper right hand side of the Device Management web page.
This feature allows the user to update one, multiple or all devices discovered by the MC.
Keep in mind that updating a large number of devices can take a few minutes.
To update one device select the device to update and then click the Update Device
button.
To update multiple devices select the devices by holding down the Shift button and
selecting the devices. After the devices are selected click the Update Devices button.
To update all devices ensure no devices are selected by clicking the deselect links at the
top of the HOSTS and ZERO CLIENTS columns. When no devices are selected click the
Update All button.
Users may want to know when the update completes. A future release of the MC will
display a status bar that provides this information. To view the update time using the
current version of the tool users should set the Field option in the Filter box equal on the
Device Management web page equal to Last Updated.
4.2.4 Filtering Devices
The Filter box supports different ways of filtering the PCoIP devices displayed in the
HOSTS and ZERO CLIENTS columns. This can be useful when searching for specific
devices or subsets of devices. Administrators can filter devices using one or more of the
following options.
• The Field dropdown menu allows users to select the device data field displayed in the
HOSTS and ZERO CLIENTS columns. Users can select from Name, Unique ID,
MAC Address, IP Address, Firmware Version, FQDN or Last Updated Time.
o The Name field is a user defined value assigned to each device managed by
the MC. This field is stored in the MC database. It is not stored in the device
configuration settings. Section 4.2.8.1 describes how to configure the device
Name.
o The Unique ID and MAC Address fields are read-only device configuration
fields provisioned at the factory.
o The IP Address is configured statically in the device or dynamically by a
DHCP server.
o The Firmware Version is determined by the firmware loaded on the device.
o The FQDN is the device FQDN if one has been registered with the
deployments DNS server. If the FQDN is not registered with the DNS server
the MC displays the device IP address.
o The Last Updated option displays the timestamp of when the MC last
updated its internal database with the actual device configuration settings.
• The Text field allows administrators to enter a text string. The MC displays all devices
in which the device Field value matches the string. For example, if the Field menu
