Configuring MC Settings > Managing MC Databases

Managing MC Databases

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

You can manage MC database archives by clicking SETTINGS from the MC'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 MC database archives.

Click the gear icon to the right of a 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.
