Managing PCoIP Management Console Databases

The PCoIP Management Console maintains a database containing its configuration data, information about the PCoIP endpoints it has discovered, and console and daemon log files. You can archive multiple snapshots of these PCoIP Management Console database settings and store them on your PCoIP Management Console virtual machine (VM). You can also download a stored archive to a location external to your PCoIP Management Console VM, e.g., the host PC you use to access the PCoIP Management Console web browser.

You can manage PCoIP Management Console database archives by clicking SETTINGS from the PCoIP Management Console’s top menu, then clicking the DATABASE menu in the left pane.

Displaying Database Information

The DATABASE MANAGEMENT page lets you back up, upload, download, restore, and delete PCoIP Management Console database archives.

Click the gear icon to the right of the table to change the information you want to display in the table columns. Your customized settings are saved in your browser and will be used for any user who subsequently logs in from that browser.
