How to Register a SonicWall Appliance in GMS
Resolution
After successfully adding one or more SonicWall appliances to the SonicWall GMS UI, the next step is to register them. Registration is required for firmware upgrades,technical support, and more:
Note: Registering SonicWall Aventail SSL VPN appliances from GMS is not supported.
To register one or more SonicWall appliances, follow these steps:
-
Select the global icon, a group, or a SonicWall appliance.
-
Expand the Register/Upgrades tree and click Register SonicWalls. The Register SonicWalls page appears
-
Click Register. SonicWall GMS creates a task for each SonicWall appliance registration. If the appliance is already registered, the Register SonicWalls page will state This appliance is registered.
By default, SonicWall GMS executes the tasks immediately. However, they can also be scheduled for another time and will remain in the schedule queue until they are executed. To view the status of these tasks, click the Console tab. Then, expand the Tasks tree and click Scheduled Tasks.
During the task execution, SonicWall GMS registers each selected SonicWall appliance using the information that you used to register with the SonicWall registration site. After registration is complete, the task will be removed from the Scheduled Tasks page and the status of the task execution will be logged. To view these logs, click the Console tab. Then, expand the Log tree and click View Log.
Note: During initial registration of SonicWall GMS, an account gets created for the SonicWall GMS on Mysonicwall.com. If you have one or more SonicWalls registered under another Mysonicwall.com account, any attempt to register those appliances will fail.
