Update a Virtual Resource on a Different Server or Machine

After you modify the properties of a resource on one server or machine, you can update the properties of the resource of the same name on another server or machine. For example, if you have made changes to the Amount field for a resource on Server1 and a resource with the same name exists on other machines, you can update the properties of the resource on all machines at the same time instead of editing each one individually.

Follow these steps:

1. Find the appropriate resource.
2. (Optional) Select the Select check box for the resource in the Search Results section that you want to update on other servers or machines.
3. Select the server on which the resource to be updated resides from the Server drop-down list.
4. (Optional) Select the name of the machine, if you are updating a machine-level resource, on which the resource to be updated resides, click to open the Select Machines dialog, and select one or more machines to which you want to copy the resource. Alternatively, multiple names can be entered in the Machine field in a comma-separated list.
5. Select one of the following from the Select and drop-down list:
   • Update
   • Update Global

   Note: Selecting Update Global ignores the Machine field and updates the properties of the existing resource on the specified server as a global resource.

   A confirmation dialog opens.

6. Click OK.

   The virtual resource is updated on the selected server.

   Notes:

   • You must enter at least one machine name when using the Update command.
   • To update a resource as a global resource, you must select the Update Global command from the Select and drop-down list.
   • In the Properties section, you can update multiple virtual resources, on one or more machines, at a single time by selecting the server on which the resources reside, entering the resource names and machines in a comma-separated list in the appropriate fields, selecting Update from the drop-down list, and clicking Commit.
   • The resources must exist on the selected server in order to be updated. Existing resources are updated until a resource in the specified list is not found. If this happens, the action stops and an error message is displayed.
