Chapter 5: DSView 3 Servers

Promoting spoke servers
Promoting a spoke server to be a hub server is usually done only if the current hub server is no
longer operational and will not be brought back into service. (For less severe problems with a hub
server, the backup and restore operations can be used.)
If a spoke server must be promoted, be sure to run the replication task, if possible (see
Replication
on page 75) on all other spoke servers, then on the spoke server being promoted, immediately
before the promotion. This will prevent loss of data from the other spoke servers.
(After the promotion of a spoke server to a hub, if the server that was originally the hub becomes
operational again, it will have to register as a spoke server, since a system can have only one hub
server.)
To promote a spoke server to be a hub server:
1.
On the spoke server, click the
System
tab.
2.
Click
Tools
in the side navigation bar.
3.
Click
Promote to hub server
. The Promote Hub Server Wizard will appear.
4.
Follow the prompts and heed the cautionary warnings in the wizard. The spoke server on
which the wizard is running will become the hub server, and the other spoke servers will be
advised of the changed configuration.
Replication
Replication is a task that synchronizes the hub and spoke server databases. By default, replication
runs every 12 hours on each spoke server. A spoke server’s first replication occurs automatically
when the spoke server is added to the DSView 3 software system. You may change the interval that
the replication task runs on each spoke server, or you may initiate an immediate replication.
During replication, the spoke server sends all of its database changes since the last replication to the
hub server. The hub server then incorporates those changes and sends all of its database changes
since the last replication to the spoke server (excluding the changes that spoke server just sent to the
hub server).
If an item is added on a spoke server, and another item with the same name (but perhaps with
different configuration parameters) is added on the hub server, then after replication, both items
will appear on both the hub and spoke servers, with a tilde (~) and a number added to one of the
names. The administrator should handle the issue appropriately - in some cases, the duplicate item
may need to be renamed; in others, the duplicate item should be deleted.
When different changes are made to one existing item, two outcomes are possible. For example,
assume an item is added and configured on the hub server and is then replicated to the spoke server.
Later, an administrator changes something about the item on the spoke server. Another
administrator then changes something about the item on the hub server. When the replication task
runs, two things may happen.
In a few instances where no conflict occurs, both changes will be incorporated and replicated. For
example, if the hub server’s administrator adds username JaneDoe to the existing user-defined user
