Device Configuration

Devices are the physical machines servers on which the Cisco Unified Intelligence Center Administration Console and the Cisco Unified Intelligence Center reporting applications are installed.

Device Configuration

This page lists all the currently configured devices (nodes) in the cluster that contain the Unified Intelligence Center reporting process.

A cluster can contain a maximum of eight such devices:

  • One Controller (which runs both Administration and Unified Intelligence Center reporting)

  • Seven Members (which run Unified Intelligence Center)

This list always contains at least one row for the Controller, added during the installation. You cannot delete the Controller from this page. To delete the Controller, you must uninstall it.

You cannot edit the IP address of the Controller on this page.

You can edit the IP address of a Member on this page, but changing it here does not effect a change in the cluster. The cluster continues to recognize the original IP address for replication, and the replication will fail.
