Note: If you stop services from this window, they will remain stopped until you start them. Committing the configuration will not start the services. |
A WebMarshal installation consists of an Array Manager and one or more processing servers (also known as array servers or array nodes).
9.6.1 Managing Processing Server Services
You can view the status of the WebMarshal services on each processing server, and stop or restart the services, from the WebMarshal Console.
To see an overview of the status of services on each processing server, in the left pane of the Console click Array Servers.
To see details of the status of services on a particular server, and to stop or restart the services:
1.In the left pane of the Console click Array Servers.
2.In the right pane, select a server.
3.On the Action menu, click Properties.
4.On the general tab, the Services listing shows the status of each service installed on the server.
5.To stop one or more services, select them in the list then click Stop.
6.To start one or more services, select them in the list then click Start.
7.To restart all services, click Restart all.
|
Note: If you stop services from this window, they will remain stopped until you start them. Committing the configuration will not start the services. |
9.6.2 Adding and Deleting Servers
You can add processing servers to a running WebMarshal installation when you want to add capacity or redundancy. You can also delete existing processing servers from an installation.
9.6.2.1 Adding a Processing Server
You can add a processing server at any time without affecting other servers. After adding the new server, adjust client settings so that it shares in web request proxying.
|
Note: Adding a server does not create automatic load balancing. You must set up load balancing outside WebMarshal. |
To add a server to a WebMarshal installation:
1.Log on to the new server using an administrative account.
2.Install WebMarshal.
3.Choose to install the Processing Server only. During installation, enter the name of the existing Array Manager.
For more information, see “WebMarshal Processing Server Installation (on a separate computer)”.
9.6.2.2 Deleting a Processing Server
You should delete a server to cleanly remove it from the WebMarshal array. Before deleting a server, adjust web proxying so that the server you plan to delete does not process any requests.
To delete a server from a WebMarshal installation:
1.Stop the WebMarshal services on the server using the WebMarshal Console.
2.Uninstall WebMarshal on the server using the Add/Remove Programs application in Control Panel.
3.In the Console Array Servers view, an un-installed server will show a status of “not active.” You can highlight the server and click the delete icon in the toolbar.
9.6.3 Joining a Server to an Array
You can join a processing server to a WebMarshal array. After joining the array, the server will retrieve policy configuration from the Array Manager.
To join an existing server to a WebMarshal installation:
1.Log on to the processing server using an account that has the WebMarshal permission, Modify Array Membership. (To set this permission, use the WebMarshal Security Tool on the Array Manager.)
2.Run the WebMarshal Server Tool found in the WebMarshal section of the Windows Start menu.
3.On the Server tab, from the Actions menu select Add this server to an array.
4.Enter the server name or IP address, and the WebMarshal port, for the Array Manager. Optionally enter credentials to connect. Click Go to make the connection. Click OK.
