Redundant Servers; Selecting A Server Group For A Rack - Waves SuperRack SoundGrid User Manual

EDUNDANT ERVERS
"Test Redundancy" (the button above Group A) runs your session through the main and redundant servers
separately to confirm that each can handle the session without failure. If the redundant server cannot handle the
session's processing needs, it will likely not be able to provide adequate protection.
When the test is finished, the results for each server group appear in a message box:
Green "V" Passed
Orange "V" Passed marginally
Red "X" Failed

ELECTING A
1. Select a Rack and open the Processing Server drop-down menu in the Rack's input section. The list displays the
following information:
a. Server group letter
b. Server name ("friendly name" if you have renamed the server)
c. Peak CPU value
d. Average CPU value across all cores.
2. From the list, choose a server group for plugin processing. Server group A is the default selection.

The second server assigned to a server group will serve as the group's redundant
server. A small mark next to the server group letter (circled here) shows that the
server is the redundant server in this processing group. Should the primary server
fail, its redundant copy will automatically and seamlessly take over processing for
the group. To work effectively, the group's redundant server should be the same
model as the primary server and provide identical processing power.
CPU load up to 75%
CPU load 75%–85%
CPU load above 85%

You can select which server group a Rack will use for
processing. This lets you distribute DSP load between servers
and increase overall processing potential. You can select a
server group in the Rack window (left) or Overview windows.
