Configuring

Virtual

Servers
Configuring
Virtual

Servers
Because
these

objects

are

shared,

modifying

an

object’s

configuration

in

one

virtual

server

can

impact
other
virtual

servers

that

use

the

same

object.
Configuring
Shared

Objects
ANM
offers

the

following

options

for

shared

objects

in

virtual

server

configuration

windows

(Config

>
Devices
>

context

>

Load

Balancing

>

Virtual

Servers):

•
View—Displays
the

object’s

configuration.

The

window

refreshes
with
read-only
fields
and
the
following
three

buttons.

•
Cancel—Closes
the

read-only

vi

ew

and

to

return
to
t

he
previous
window.

•
Edit—Enables
you

to

modify

the

selected

object’s

configuration.

The

window

refreshes

with

fields
that
can

be

modified,

except

for

the

Name

field

which

remains

read-only.
Note
Before
changing
a

shared

object’s

configuration,
make
sure

that

you

understand
the

effect
of
the

changes

on

ot

her

vi

rtual

servers

using

the

same

object.

As

an

alternative,

consider
using
the

Duplicate

option

instead.

•
Duplicate—Enables
you
to
create

a
new
object

with

the

same
configuration
as

the
selected

object.
The
window

refreshes

with

configurable

fields.

In

the

Name

field,

enter

a

unique

name

for

the

new
object,
and

then

modify

the

configuration

as

desired.

This

option

allows

you

to

create

a

new

object
without
impacting

other

virtual

servers

using

the

same

object.
Deleting
Virtual

Servers

with

Shared

Objects
If
you

create

a

virtual

server

and

include

shared

objects

in

its

configuration,

deleting

the

virtual

server
does
not

delete

the

associated

shared

objects.

This

action

ensures

that

other

virtual

servers

using

the
same
shared

objects

are

not

impacted.
