Registration Tasks on GMS

When you add an appliance, GMS creates a task to register it. You can see the scheduled Appliance Registration task in the Console > Tasks > Scheduled Task screen. Note that when a unit is added to GMS, it is automatically registered by GMS when successfully acquired. However, CDP appliances cannot be used until you complete the registration tasks on the local CDP appliance.

You can also register appliances manually in GMS. To register a CDP appliance:

1	In the left pane of the CDP appliance, select the appliance.

2	Click the Policies tab.

3	In the center pane, navigate to Register/Upgrades > Register CDPs.

 

4	Click Register. The scheduler displays. Use the scheduler to update immediately, or select a date in the future.

NOTE: When registering a CDP appliance, you must specify the offsite backup location between Europe or North America.

5	Click Accept. It might take several seconds for GMS to contact SonicWALL to register the CDP appliance.
