Servers in an Existing Master/Slave Setup

Configuration on the Master Server

If the server you are configuring should be a master server, do the following:

1. Select the Designate as Master Server check box.

2. Next, define which other NetDVMS servers should act as slave servers. To define other

servers as slave servers, click the Slaves... button:

This will open the

required slave servers.

Apart from the notes listed above, no special master/slave configuration is required on a slave

server; simply do not specify anything in the Master/Slave Setup section:

If you do not wish to use a master/slave setup—for example because there is only a single

NetDVMS server on your system—simply do not specify anything in the Master/Slave Setup

section.

The servers involved in a master/slave setup should preferably all use the latest NetDVMS

version. If you only upgrade to NetDVMS 6.5 or later on the master server while letting the slave

servers run a previous version (e.g. NetDVMS 6.0), access client users will lose access to key

functionality in their client applications.

It is therefore highly recommended that you upgrade all the servers involved in an existing

master/slave setup to NetDVMS 6.5 or later.

When you do this, a certain procedure is recommended. The procedure ensures that remote users

will not experience any loss of functionality, not even during a transition period in which some

servers may run NetDVMS 6.5 or later while other servers still run a previous NetDVMS version:
