All Primary servers function as content servers. Satellites can function as content servers when you assign them a Content role via the Server Hierarchy configuration. You can assign this role when first configuring the managed device as a Satellite or at a later time. The Content role is one of five roles you can assign to a Satellite. Ondemand content for the Antimalware Agent is automatically included in content distribution for the Satellite when the Content role is assigned.
Satellites come into play for ondemand content requests and distribution when they are the closest content servers to managed devices that have the Antimalware Enforcement Policy assigned. To add a Satellite or to assign a Content role to an existing Satellite, navigate to the Server Hierarchy panel in the main Configuration page.
For detailed information about configuring Satellites and assigning a Content role in particular, see Adding and Configuring Satellite Devices
in the ZENworks Primary Server and Satellite Reference.
IMPORTANT:SSL communication is required for ondemand content on a Satellite. When configuring Satellites with a Content role, ensure you select the Use SSL to transport data securely check box. If your zone is using an external Certificate Authority, make sure the Satellite has been configured with the appropriate external certificates. See Adding and Configuring Satellite Devices
in the ZENworks Primary Server and Satellite Reference for details.
For information about configuring the ondemand content schedule and content cache settings, see Ondemand Content Configuration
in the ZENworks Ondemand Content Reference.
