7.6.2. Add a New Member to Replication Group
In this task, you add a third server to the Data Distribution replication group
and specify where one of the two replicated folders, Antivirus Signatures, will
be stored on the new member. You'll use a new feature in DFS Replication
to specify that the LOB Data replicated folder is not replicated to the new
member. You also will create a custom schedule that applies only to the
connections to and from the new member.
IMPORTANT
Replication does not begin immediately on the new member. The DFS Replication
settings for the new member must be replicated to all domain controllers, and each
member in the replication group must poll its closest domain controller to obtain
these settings. The amount of time this takes depends on Active Directory
replication latency, the short polling interval (5 minutes) on the new member, and
the long polling interval (60 minutes) on existing members.
To add a new member to the Data Distribution replication group:
1.
In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the
Data Distribution
replication group, and then click
New Member
.
2.
Follow the steps in the
New Member Wizard
and supply the
information in the following fields.
o
New Member
- Enter the name of the server to add to the
replication group. The server must have the DFS Replication
Service installed.
o
Local Path of Replicated Folders
- Select the
Antivirus
Signatures
replicated folder, click
Edit
, click
Enabled
, and
then enter the local path of the replicated folder to be
created on the new member. When you close the
Edit Local
Path
dialog box, notice that the LOB Data replicated folder
shows
<Disabled>
, which means that this replicated folder
will not be replicated to the new member. Because you only
want the Antivirus Signatures folder to be replicated to the
new member, you can ignore the warning message that
appears.
o
Connections
- Under
Available members
, click a member,
and then click
Add
. Repeat this step to add the second
member. The new member will replicate directly with both
existing members.
o
Replication Schedule
- Select
Custom connection
schedule
, and then click
Edit Schedule
. In the Edit
Schedule dialog box, click
Details
to expand the schedule,
and then select the entry that begins
Sunday 12:00 AM
and
then click
Edit
. In the Edit Schedule dialog box, under
Bandwidth usage
, click
128 Mbps
.
o
Review Settings and Create Member
- Click
Create
to add
the new member to the Data Distribution replication group.
