Install the Replication System

This section outlines the entire process for installing a replication system:

 

1. Primary installation: On your primary NetMan Desktop Manager server, set up a primary installation of NetMan Desktop Manager. For details on setting up a primary installation, see "Installation".

 

2. Configuration of secondary servers: If you have a blank server you wish to use as a secondary NetMan Desktop Manager server, perform a secondary installation of NetMan Desktop Manager. For details on performing a secondary installation, see "Secondary Installation". If a server you wish to configure as a secondary server already has a primary NetMan installation on it, open the NetMan System Settings on that server and reconfigure the existing installation as a secondary server. This sets up the mechanism for synchronization of the databases with the primary database server. For details on reconfiguring a server as a secondary server, see "Configure Secondary Servers".

 

3. Configuration of the primary NetMan server: On the primary NetMan Desktop Manager server, open the NetMan System Settings and designate the server as the primary NetMan Desktop Manager server. For details, see "Configure Primary Server".

 

4. Setting up the replica set: The replica set is set up during configuration of the replication system, when you designate secondary servers. For details on setting up the replica set, see "Configure Primary Server".

 

5. Additional settings: Once you have set up the replica set, you can redefine the weighting of the servers in the replica set by configuring the servers' priorities. For details on configuring priorities, see "Configure Primary Server".
