Configure Persistent Connection to ExtremeCloud

Use this optional procedure to configure a persistent connection to the ExtremeCloud network using the CloudOps Management setting. CloudOps uses this persistent connection to manage software delivery for the cluster.

By default, the setting is On for all Managed Orchestration clusters. By turning the setting to Off, you can limit software installs and upgrades to specific maintenance windows.

Go to Engines > Installation.
Select the ExtremeCloud IQ engine.
Select the Settings tab.
Set CloudOps Management to one of the following settings:
- On—The cluster maintains a persistent connection to the ExtremeCloud network. This is the default setting.
- Off—The cluster disconnects from the ExtremeCloud network. A customer administrator or CloudOps administrator must turn this setting back to On before CloudOps can install or upgrade software.
Select Save.

Note

If CloudOps Management is Off, the setting can be turned back on by an administrator at the customer organization or by the CloudOps team (using remote GUI access).
