Secondary Server Failover Settings - Ricoh GlobalScan Administrator's Manual

Secondary Server Failover Settings

When in Failover mode, all the active MFDs on the primary server will be automatically routed to
the secondary server and jobs will continue to be processed by the secondary server.
On the secondary server, most GlobalScan WebAdmin Module screens, e.g., System Parameters,
Profiles and Projects, etc. are read-only, so no changes can be made. Manage Failover (Failover
status/configuration screen), Manage Logs and Manage Jobs screens, however, can be accessed
and updated. In addition, the secondary server will allow Administrators to change configuration
settings of third-party plug-ins, though this is not recommended; make changes at your own
risk.
Important:
•
Although you can change secondary server settings, the next synchronization will override
those changes, i.e., the secondary server reverts back to the settings of the primary server.
•
The secondary server will not synchronize with the primary server if (1) the primary server
is down, (2) there are active jobs still in the queue, or (3) any MFDs are currently connected
to the secondary. Thus, it is important to never update server information while jobs are in
progress. This rule applies to on-demand or timer synchronization.
To access the Failover status/configuration screen on the secondary GlobalScan Server,
proceed as follows:
1. Click the Manage Failover
Note: When the Secondary Server is activated, all GlobalScan service configuration screens
are disabled, i.e., fields are shaded. As such, setting changes are prohibited.
