  • Security certificates
    XClarity One uses SSL certificates to establish secure, trusted communications between the portal and management hubs, as well as communications with the portal by users or with different services. When running XClarity One as a virtual machine, the XClarity One portal and the management hubs use XClarity One-generated certificates that are self-signed and issued by an internal certificate authority by default.
  • XClarity One service data
    When running Lenovo XClarity One as a local VM, you can manually collect XClarity One service data and then save the information as an archive in tar.gz format to the local system. You can then send the service files to your preferred service provider to get assistance in resolving issues as they arise.

    Lenovo XClarity One does not include built-in backup and restore functions. When using XClarity One as a local virtual machine, use the backup functions that are available based on the virtual-host operating system on which XClarity One is installed.
  • Portal restart
    There are certain situations when you might need to restart Lenovo XClarity One, such as when regenerating or uploading a server certificate.
  • Portal updates
    When using Lenovo XClarity One as a local virtual machine, it is important to keep the portal up to date with the latest release.
