Software enhancements​

FunctionDescription
Management hubs

XClarity One makes it easy to initially configure a new management hub using a setup wizard (see Configuring XClarity Management Hub 2.0).

XClarity One makes it easy to keep your management hubs up to date by pushing the latest updates to the hub repository and automatically staring the update process (see Management-hub updates).

You can regenerate the root certificate authority (CA) for a management hub (see Regenerating the self-signed management hub server certificate).

You can enable or disable enable certain device-management functions (such as power actions or firmware updates) for specific management hubs from the management-hub user interface, or disable the functions globally in all management hubs in your organization from the XClarity One web interface (see Management functions).

To transfer firmware to managed devices and to update the firmware, you must open ports 115 and 6990 on the managed devices (see Configuring the management hub network).

You can interact with the web interface using keyboard actions. Use Esc to navigate, use Enter to trigger an action, and use Space to skip steps in a wizard (when applicable).
