Setting up a Cluster
To set up a Enterprise Server cluster, perform the following steps:
1.
Install the Enterprise Servers on the computers you want to include in the
cluster. Make sure the Enterprise Administration Server for the cluster has a
username and password that the master Enterprise Administration Server
can use for authentication. You can do this either by using the default
username and password or by setting up distributed administration.
2.
Install the server that will contain the master Enterprise Administration
Server, making sure the username and password matches the one set in
Step 1.
3.
Add a server to the cluster list.
4.
You can administer a remote server by accessing its Server Manager forms
from the cluster form or by copying a configuration file from one server in
the cluster to another.
Note
After changing the configuration for a remote server, restart the remote server.
For more information about how to use the Server Manager forms, see “Server
Manager,” in the online help.
