Is Appliance a Supported Server for Installing Agents if the OS is supported?

  • 1.  Is Appliance a Supported Server for Installing Agents if the OS is supported?

    Hi Team,

    In our Environment we have most of the appliance server which has centOS, Linux and Microsoft Windows Server with supported version. I have a little confusion since I have zero knowledge of how appliance works. Hence, I am seeking for a valid response whether to keep the track on Appliances or Not in ILMT.

    Regards,

    Hello Kasinath,


    Which appliance have you got there ?


    First you should check the appliance's documentation, it should cover how to track PVU license entitlements or integrate with ILMT by means of some native, pre-installed scanner.
    Following is an example of tracking PVU licensing with DataPower Gateway virtual appliance:
