About High Availability and Distributed Setups
HA Configuration
In a High Availability (HA) configuration, you create a primary application server and at least one
secondary application server you can switch to manually in case of a primary server failure. Such
secondary application servers are installed and configured exactly like the primary application
server, except, all MSP-related services on the secondary server(s) are inactive.
The HA configuration assumes that the MSP Database Server and the shared folder for User
Data Files are in a failsafe, backed-up environment. The end user is responsible for implementing
the backup and failover procedures that best suit their needs. In most cases, the HA installation is
very similar to the most-common custom installation scenario (Chapter 5) with a few additional
steps.
Note:
There is no limit to the number of secondary application servers that can be installed, however,
only 1 can be allowed to run at any given time.
Distributed System
The Distributed System is another type of custom setup scenario. Motorola does not cover this in
