To protect your information in case the main server fails, you can set up Directory
failover and load balancing by assigning expansion servers as Directory servers.
To set up Directory failover and load balancing:
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
System task, and click the Roles view.
-
Select the Directory Manager () role, and click the Directory
servers tab.
-
Click Add an item ().
-
In the dialog box that appears, select the server you want to add, its connection port
(default=5500), and click Add.
The server is added to the failover list.
-
Add more Directory servers if necessary.
-
Update your license to
include the servers you’ve just promoted to Directory servers.
-
Click Apply.
The expansion servers are converted into Directory servers and the updated license is
applied to all Directory servers in the list. Client applications and roles on expansion
servers can connect to Security
Center using any of the Directory servers.
