Viewing Status and License Information Using the vGW Series Settings Module
The Settings module Applications section allows you to view basic system status, and configure and view licensing information. It contains the following parts:
- Database Status—Displays the status of the internal
database that stores network session data. When the database disk
is full, session data for the oldest sessions is deleted. This section
displays how far back session data stored in the database extends.
By default, the disk that contains the vGW Series database is set to 8 GB. If the database is not holding enough information for your environment, you can increase its size.
To increase the database size:
- Power down the vGW Security Design VM.
- In VMware, edit settings for the vGW Security Design VM, increasing the size of the second disk.
- Start the vGW Security Design VM.
When the vGW Security Design VM boots up, the new disk size is recognized, and the database expands into the newly defined space.
- Appliance Status—This pane shows the current version of the appliance and the update version. You can use this pane to check if there are updates available that have not yet been applied.
- Product Licensing—This area displays a table summarizing
valid licenses for the Juniper Networks vGW Series. The licensing
system is 'multi-key' meaning you can attach various licenses for
features and feature counts to the system.
At minimum, you must have a valid license for the vGW Security Design VM management center.
For information about licenses and specifying them, see:
- Appliance Status—This area displays the version and last update information for the vGW Security Design VM. See “System Updates” on page 76 for more information on initiating an update.
