Working with BMC Helix Client Management master
You should consider the following recommendations when setting up the BMC Helix Client Management master.
- We highly recommend to have at least one and possibly only one L1 relay directly connected to the master. It will reduce the number of devices that download the patches.
- Do not have any device other than the L1 relay under the helix master.
- If you have more than one L1 relay as a direct child, it should not exceed 500 devices. If the master has more direct children, it affects the master's efficiency.
- Patches are stored on the L1 relay as a consequence and not on the master.
- We recommend to publish the packages to the L1 relay (and to any other relay that could be a direct child of the master) and not to the master.
- It implies that the L1 relay or any device directly under the master must have a lot of disk space.
