Switching the main server

If necessary, you can assign any server in the Directory failover list to be the main server. For example, when maintenance work needs to be done on the current main server.

To switch the main server:

  1. From the Config Tool home page, open the System task, and click the Roles view.
  2. Select the Directory Manager () role, and click the Directory servers tab.
  3. Select a server, and click Activate Directory ().
  4. Click Continue.

All client applications and roles are disconnected, the main server switches to the Directory server you selected, and all applications and roles reconnect.
