- Backup and recover
  You can back up and recover the contents of your HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) installation.
- High availability and failover
  You can configure clustered HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) servers, and agents for high availability. You can also configure agents and agent relays for failover.
- Setting up high-availability clusters
  To configure a high-availability cluster, you store shared files on network storage. Then, you configure multiple servers, set each server to access the same files and database, and configure a load balancer to distribute the traffic between the servers.
- Adding cold standby servers
  You can add cold standby servers to serve as a backup server or for disaster recovery. You must start the secondary server or servers when the active server fails, and network traffic is routed to the secondary servers.
- Server settings and configuration
  After you install HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy), you can modify the server configuration and configure more options.
- Setting your profile
  As a HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) user, you can manage teams and roles for your account, and preferences such as display options, language for the server, and how the server shows times and dates.
- Agents and agent relay configuration
  After you install an agent for HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy), you can modify its configuration or create an agent relay to facilitate communication to remote relays.
- Licensing
  HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) provides a 60-day license-free evaluation period. You must have a license to use all product features after the evaluation period.
- Setting up the wizard for new users
  HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) includes a wizard to help users become familiar with the procedures and steps in creating a deployment. Some configuration is required before the wizard can be used.
- Customizing the table views

- Managing data
  This section gives details about how you can manage your data in HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy)
  - Migrating Codestation from filesystem repositories to S3 repositories
    Migrate your Codestation artifacts from filesystem to S3 using the S3 migrator tool.
  - Relocating CodeStation
    You can move the CodeStation artifacts to a different location on the server.
  - Caching artifacts on agent relays
    Agent relays can cache downloaded artifacts. Caching artifacts in this way improves performance because agents retrieve artifacts from agent relays instead of from the server.
  - Releasing VC LOB space
    You can compress the amount of large object (LOB) storage space that Deploy uses in the vc_persistent_record database table.
  - Scanning and removing orphaned Codestation blob files
    The csorphanscan tool in the /bin directory scans for orphaned Codestation blob files and relocates them to an orphan’s directory.

    - Cleaning up database
      You can clean up database storage by rotating your audit files and deleting the deployment history files.
      - Cleaning up deployment history files
        You can clean up the deployment history files to reduce the database storage that HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) uses.
      - Cleaning up snapshots
        You can configure the server to reduce the number of snapshots by deleting old snapshots. You can specify global cleanup settings and cleanup settings for specific environments.
