Server Designation and Configuration

The server designation as Production or Disaster Recovery, as well as the configuration of the services in these servers is performed using the File Access Manager Server Installer.

Initial Configuration

When configuring the servers in the initial setup, mark Disaster Recovery (DR) servers, by ticking the Disaster Recovery tick box.

Disaster Recovery Configuration: Setting the Active Servers

You can set the servers to be active or inactive in the Server Installer. If a server is set to be "Toggle UP," the twin DR Server will be in "Sleep State" (idle). if the Production server is in "Toggle Down" Mode the Twin DR server will be in running state.

The user can set server up and down from any machine.

2. Select the Production server which will be activated / deactivated and click the Edit button.

   Reset

   Mark the services running on this server as uninstalled. (This is necessary when a server should be reinstalled or replaced.)

4. Click activate / deactivate to change the server state.

5. Click save.
