with its managed appliance(s). The following list provides more
detail on SonicWALL appliance management methods and
gateway requirements:
GMS Gateway Recommendations
A GMS gateway is a SonicWALL UTM appliance that allows for
secure communication between the SonicWALL UMA EM5000
and managed appliance(s) using VPN tunnels. A GMS gateway
is not required in all deployment scenarios, as described in this
section.
•
Management VPN tunnel – A GMS gateway is required.
Each SonicWALL UMA EM5000 agent must have a
dedicated gateway. The security association (SA) for this
type of VPN tunnel is created when the appliance is
configured for SonicWALL GMS management using the
Management Tunnel method.
When deployed, the GMS gateway must be a SonicWALL VPN-
based network security appliance running SonicOS Enhanced
firmware or another VPN device that is interoperable with
SonicWALL VPN. SonicWALL strongly recommends that the
GMS gateway be, at minimum, a SonicWALL NSA 2400
network security appliance with SonicOS Enhanced 5.1 or
higher firmware.The GMS gateway provides a VPN
management tunnel for each managed appliance. The number
of management tunnels depends on the number of VPNs
supported by the GMS gateway appliance and may be a limiting
factor.
•
•
The SonicWALL UMA EM5000 automatically creates the
SA in the gateway. For this configuration, the gateway must
be a SonicWALL VPN-based appliance. The gateway can
be configured in NAT-Enabled or transparent mode.
Existing VPN tunnel – A GMS gateway is optional. The
SonicWALL UMA EM5000 can use VPN tunnels that
already exist in the network to communicate with the
managed appliance(s). The GMS gateway can be a
SonicWALL VPN-based appliance or another VPN device
that is interoperable with SonicWALL VPN.
There are three SonicWALL appliance management methods
with varying GMS gateway requirements. When using HTTPS
as the management method, it is optional to have a GMS
gateway between each SonicWALL UMA EM5000 agent server
and the managed SonicWALL appliance(s). If you select
Existing VPN tunnel as the management method, a gateway is
optional. If you select Management VPN tunnel, you must have
a GMS gateway between the SonicWALL UMA EM5000 agent
appliance and the managed SonicWALL appliance(s) to allow
each SonicWALL UMA EM5000 agent to securely communicate
•
HTTPS – A GMS gateway is optional. The SonicWALL
UMA EM5000 can use HTTPS management instead of a
VPN tunnel to communicate with the managed
appliance(s).
Note: A management VPN tunnel is only supported for
SonicWALL UTM appliances, but is not supported for
SonicWALL CDP or SonicWALL SSL-VPN appliances.

You can include the MySQL database installation with any role.
The All In One or Database Only roles automatically include the
MySQL database.
Overview of SonicWALL UMA EM5000
Roles
The role that you assign to your SonicWALL UMA EM5000
defines the SonicWALL Universal Management Suite services
that it will provide. SonicWALL GMS uses these services to
perform management, monitoring, and reporting tasks.
You can scale your deployment to handle more units and more
reporting by adding more systems in the Agent role. Agents
provide built-in redundancy capability, meaning that if an Agent
goes down, other Agents can perform the configuration tasks
and other tasks of the Agent that went down.
Your SonicWALL UMA EM5000 can be deployed in any of the
following roles:
Note: When configuring the role for the first appliance in a
distributed deployment, you should either include the
database or be prepared to provide the IP address of
an existing database server.
•
•
•
•
•
•
All In One
Agent
Console
Database Only
Monitor
Syslog Collector
You can meet this database objective in one of the following
ways:
In the appliance management interface, clicking Details in the
same row as a role provides a list of the services that run on a
system in that role, and information about using the role.
•
•
•
By selecting a role that includes the database
automatically, such as All In One or Database Only
By selecting the Include Database (MYSQL) checkbox if
configuring the appliance with any other role
By setting up a compatible database on another machine
and providing that IP address when prompted
As the number of managed appliances increases, a more
distributed deployment provides better performance. To
manage large numbers of SonicWALL appliances, you can use
several SonicWALL UMA EM5000 appliances operating in
different roles in a distributed deployment. You can also use
Windows Server machines running SonicWALL GMS in any of
the roles.

Configuring the All In One Role
Manually Configuring the System Role
All In One deployments are ideal for managing a small number
of SonicWALL appliances or for test environments. However,
SonicWALL recommends that you use a multi-system,
distributed deployment in production environments, with the
database on a dedicated server and the other services on one
or more systems. When only one other system is deployed, the
Console role should be assigned to it.
You can configure the role of the SonicWALL UMA EM5000
appliance without using the Role Configuration Tool.

ensure that the rack is adequate for the application.
Verwenden Sie für eine sichere Montage vier passende
Befestigungsschrauben, und ziehen Sie diese mit der Hand an.
Four mounting screws, compatible with the rack design, must be used and
hand tightened to ensure secure installation. Choose a mounting location
where all four mounting holes line up with those of the mounting bars of the
19-inch rack mount cabinet.
Wählen Sie für die Montage einen Ort, der keinem direkten Sonnenlicht
ausgesetzt ist und sich nicht in der Nähe von Wärmequellen befindet. Die
Umgebungstemperatur darf nicht mehr als 40 °C betragen.

The defective drive is indicated by a drive status box
displaying a status such as:
Replacing a Single Hard Drive
You can order a replacement hard drive from SonicWALL for
your SonicWALL UMA EM5000. The 750GB replacement hard
drive can be inserted into any drive slot on your SonicWALL
UMA EM5000. You can insert the drive while the appliance is
powered on.
•
•
•
UNKNOWN
NOT SUPPORTED
NOT PRESENT
You might see a different status than those listed,
depending on the condition of the drive as interpreted by
the RAID controller.
The front bezel on the SonicWALL UMA EM5000 covers the
drive slots. The bezel can be unlocked with the front bezel
security key supplied with the appliance.
3. On the appliance, press the square button on the right side
of the defective drive to pop out the drive handle.
Removing the Defective Hard Drive
Warning: Be careful to remove only the defective drive from
the drive array while the appliance is powered on.
Removing more than one drive from an active
array will cause loss of data.
To remove the defective drive from the SonicWALL UMA
EM5000, perform the following steps:
1. On your SonicWALL UMA EM5000, use the front bezel key
to unlock the front bezel, then remove the front bezel to
expose the hard drive array.
4. Grasp the drive handle and pull the drive straight out to
remove it from the slot.
2. In the appliance Web interface, navigate to the System >
RAID page.
5. Click Refresh on the System > RAID page and confirm that
the status of the correct (defective) drive is the only
change. The status should be NOT PRESENT.
If you removed the wrong drive, reinsert it and allow the
RAID controller to rebuild the array before proceeding.

7. Click Refresh on the System > RAID page. You will see
the drive slot status change to DEGRADED, and the Array
Status change to REBUILD-PAUSED.
Inserting the Replacement Drive into the SonicWALL
UMA EM5000
The DEGRADED drive status indicates that the RAID
controller senses that data is missing from the drive. The
Array Status will change to REBUILDING within a few
minutes.
Warning: Do not insert anything other than the SonicWALL
approved hard drive into the SonicWALL UMA
EM5000.
8. You may continue to use your SonicWALL UMA EM5000
while the RAID controller rebuilds the array with the new
drive. The rebuilding process requires at least three hours.
When finished rebuilding, the status for both the drive and
the array changes to OK on the System > RAID page.
To view the hard drive array and insert the replacement drive
into the SonicWALL UMA EM5000, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the hard drive and the drive number stickers from
the replacement drive shipping carton.
2. Depending on which drive you are replacing, apply the
appropriate sticker to the drive handle. While holding the
drive with the label side up, place the sticker near the edge
of the handle next to the square button.
9. Re-install the front bezel, being sure to properly line up the
LCD connectors. The best practice is to align and seat the
right side of the bezel (as you are facing the front of the
SonicWALL UMA EM5000), then view the connectors from
above as you carefully press the left side of the bezel into
place.
3. In the appliance Web interface, navigate to the System >
RAID page.
10. Lock the bezel with the front bezel security key.
4. Pop open the drive handle on the new hard drive by
pressing the square button.
5. Insert the drive into the empty slot, label side up with the
handle sticking out.
6. Press the drive firmly into place to seat the connectors, and
then close the handle.
