Create a BlackBerry Router pool for high availability
To configure BlackBerry® Router high availability, you can create a BlackBerry Router pool for each BlackBerry®
Enterprise Server by assigning multiple BlackBerry Router instances to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The
BlackBerry Enterprise Server determines which BlackBerry Router instance to connect to by trying to connect to the
first BlackBerry Router instance in the pool list. If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot connect to the first
BlackBerry Router instance in the list, it tries to connect to each BlackBerry Router in sequence until a connection
succeeds.
For more information, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Planning Guide.
1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, click BlackBerry Solution
topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
2. Click the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair that you
want to assign the BlackBerry Router pool to.
3. Click Edit instance.
4. In the SRP Address section, type the FQDN of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Router instance.
5. If the BlackBerry Router instance uses a port number other than port number 3101, in the Port override field,
type the port number.
6. Click the Add icon.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for each instance that you want to add to the pool.
