Configuring cloud synchronization mode

IBM® Cloud Manager with OpenStack scans the cloud for updates on instances as often as the refresh interval property specifies. However, you can change the synchronization mode so that IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack periodically checks with the cloud without waiting for messages.

To change the sync mode, open the deployment.properties file and modify the following settings:

com.ibm.cfs.cloud.sync=push

To enable IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack to synchronize with the cloud by using periodic checking, set this property to poll. Enable the configuration by ensuring that you uncomment the com.ibm.cfs.cloud.sync line (remove any preceding # symbol).

For more information about setting the refresh interval, see Cloud refresh interval.
