Click Save to preserve the OS Image you have configured, or Cancel to exit these screens
without saving.
Configuration Image Editor
This editor appears for new configuration images, or for configurations you Promote in the
Configuration Files portlet for mass restoration. This screen has the following tabs:
• General Parameters
• Configuration
General Parameters
In this screen you can name and describe the configuration file, and configure a filter to
screen restoration targets.
The Version field automatically tracks changes to the original.
The Target Filter panel lets you configure how this configuration decides which devices to
target. When targets fail, restoration skips them.
Configuration
This panel lets you configure what is restored, and what is variable in mass deployments.
This screen appears without contents when you create a new Configuration Image, but
appears with data from any promoted configuration file, if it originated as a promoted config
file.
Target Param
The panel of parameters that appears to the right of this screen lets you insert a value
retrieved from NMS200’s database into the restored configuration file.
For example, if a Contact appears in the file, delete the specifics retrieved from a particular
device’s config and double-click the Target Param “Contact.” NMS200 inserts
$_EquipmentManager_RedCell_Config_EquipmentManager_Contact
(a unique
identifier for the database’s Contact field) wherever you put the cursor.
Now, when you deploy this config file to the devices that pass the filter in the General
Parameters editor screen, NMS200 first updates this parameter with discovered data
retrieved from the device before restoring the configuration. This facilitates deploying the
same config to many devices while retaining individual Target Params like contacts, DNS
Hostname, and so on.
Note: Target Params include all available discover-able parameters. Some
may not apply to the specific device or configuration file.
