Adding Subservers

Adding Subservers

The idradmin user can add multiple subservers to the Server Manager Main server. Typically, subservers are located on remote machines where the Extractor or Applier run. The subservers run the replication tasks and transmit the intermediate files.
In the Data Replication Console, the idradmin user can either manually enter subserver connection information or discover the available servers.
  1. On the
    Server Manager
    tab >
    Configs
    view, connect to the Main server as the idradmin user.
  2. Click the
    Server Manager
    tab >
    Servers
    view.
    The following image shows this view:
    The Servers view on the Server Manager tab
    A green icon to the left of the server name indicates that the server is running. A red icon indicates that the server is not available.
  3. To manually add a subserver, perform the following steps:
    1. Click the
      New
      icon button on the Server Managers toolbar.
    2. In the
      New
      dialog box, enter a subserver name, host http address or URL, and port number.
      • Subserver names can contain only the digits 0-9, Latin letters A-Z and a-z, and the underscore (_) character. The Data Replication Console truncates subserver names that are longer than 100 characters.
      • Valid port numbers are integers from 1 through 65535.
    3. If the subserver uses HTTPS connections, select
      Use TLS
      .
    4. To test the connection, click
      Test
      .
    5. If the test is successful, click
      OK
      .
      The
      Network Test
      window appears. This window shows connectivity status for each combination of Server Manager instances. Statuses are: success and failed.
    6. Review the connectivity information and click
      Close
      .
      The subserver appears in the
      Servers
      view.
  4. To select a subserver from a list of discovered servers, perform the following steps:
    1. Click the
      Discover
      icon button on the Server Managers toolbar to display a list of available servers.
      The following image shows a list of discovered servers in the right list box:
      List of discovered servers
    2. Select a server in the list box on the right, and then click the left arrow button to add the server to the list box on the left.
      You cannot add a subserver that is already associated with another replication server group.
      A dialog box displays subserver connection information.
    3. Verify that the connection information for the subserver is correct. If the subserver uses HTTPS connections, select
      Use TLS
      .
    4. Click
      OK
      .
      The
      Network Test
      window appears. This window shows the connectivity status for each combination of Server Manager instances. Statuses are: success and failed.
    5. Review the connectivity information and click
      Close
      .
      Click the
      Hide
      icon button to minimize the list of available servers.
