Managing Regions

Avalanche uses regions to organize servers and folders. When you apply profiles to a region, the Avalanche Console applies the configurations to every server and device within that region.

Applying a profile to a region

A profile applies settings to your regions, which then apply those settings to devices within them.

1.In the Profiles tab, use the Navigation Tree to navigate to the region where you want to apply the profile.

2.In the Available Profiles panel, select the check box next to the name of the profile and click Apply.
The Selected Profiles screen appears.

3.Click Apply to apply the profile without deploying it.

-Or-

If you want to schedule a deployment, click Schedule Deployment and configure the deployment options.

For information about the different kinds of profiles, see Configuring Profiles.

Deploying a region

When you create or edit a region, the changes you make are not immediately sent out to the network. Instead, you can schedule specific times for your changes to be deployed. This allows you to deploy changes during periods of low network activity to avoid workday interruptions. The Needs Deployment button will appear in the top right corner of the console any time you make a change that requires a deployment.

1.In the Navigation Tree, click on the region you want to deploy.

2.Click the View icon at the top of the Navigation Tree.

3.Click the Needs Deployment button in the upper right corner of the console.

4.Select Deploy Now.

-Or-

Select Deploy Later and enter a date and time for the deployment.

5.Click Finish.
A system message will appear in the console when the deployment is completed.
