New page

=== Host control ===

Starting with Toolpack 2.5 it will be possible to take certain actions on hosts (servers on which Toolpack is installed). The host control panel can be found in the host status page and it's goal is to provide a common way to do Toolpack specific tasks like:
: Upload a license
: Upload a Toolpack package
: Upgrade the host's packages (tblinux only)
: Shutdown a host
: Check control action status

==== Upload a license ====
While it will still be possible to manually copy the license in the appropriate folder on the host, this action will take care of that task. It will let you choose upload the license file to the correct folder a take the steps so that license is installed. Once this action is completed successfully, the OAM application will load the license and take care of installing it on the appropirate TMedia unit.

==== Upload a Toolpack package ====

 ==== Upload a Toolpack package  ====
 This will take care or uploading and installing the Toolpack installer on the specified host. You must still create a package and activate it so that the upgrade is applied at a suitable time. The only limitation is that this can only be used for minor upgrades since the setup parameters will be lost for major upgrades.

 This will update all packages of the tblinux distribution to the latest stable version (assuming that the TMG has access to the web). This could take a while if the tblinux is not updated frequently and is recommended so that you always have the latest fixes.

 This will either reboot or shutdown a host depending on user input. This is especially important for the TMG since it is important to shut it down properly to avoid corruption on the flash based drive.
