The second step when configuring a base system for server redundancy is to configure and verify the network.
Configuration includes host names.
Important: SR requires that all
computers (primary, secondary and viewer) must have their names and
IP addresses configured and these names must match the actual
computer names. You may configure the host names in DNS, WINS or in
the local host file on each computer, depending on the networking
resources available at your site. SR will not function correctly if
this information is not configured. If you do not understand
network configuration you should obtain the services of someone
that does.
Once the configuration is complete, the following tests should be run.
From the primary computer ping primary, secondary and all viewers by name and by address.
From the secondary computer ping primary, secondary and all viewers by name and by address.
From each viewer, ping primary and secondary by name and address.
Verify computer names of each computer match.
Note: Keep alives are automatically configured
on a:
Server when redundancy is
installed and
Viewer when Viewer redundancy is
installed.
