Master Depot

Section:

Distribution

Description:

You must assign a master depot for each object on ORG, region or site level; all source data for cascading distribution is stored on this master depot.

  • When you install Ivanti DSM the depot you are using will automatically become the central depot; this central depot cannot be changed.
  • When you create a site the first depot in the site will become the site master depot; this depot can be changed only if you remove the "old" master depot in this site. Then you can either specify another depot in the site as master depot or set up a new depot as master depot.
  • A new region will always get the master depot of the first site within the region. The region master depot can be changed. We recommend using a master depot of a site within the region as region master depot; however, in certain cases it is possible to select another master depot ("Out-of-Site master depot").
