Enabling hybrid mode

You can enable MVX hybrid mode on an integrated appliance using the Central Management Web UI or the integrated appliance CLI.

Note
For information about restoring local mode on a hybrid-enabled integrated appliance, see Enabling hybrid mode using the CLI.

Click Select in the Action column.
Click Enable Hybrid Mode.
Click OK to confirm the action.

hostname (config) # mvx mode hybrid
```
Verify your change:
```
hostname (config) # show mvx status

```
