Installing Multiple Netscape Application Servers
If you are adding one or more Netscape Application Servers to enable load balancing, be ready to enable the servers for distributed data synchronization before you install the servers. If you are not going to be balancing the user-request loads for an application, or the application does not require state and session management, you can just install the additional server or servers and you need not read the rest of this procedure. Before you install an additional Netscape Application Server, you must know the host and port of the primary synchronization server. In addition, be prepared to set the priority with which the server you are installing could be a primary synchronization server. For more information about distributed data synchronization, see "About Distributed Data Synchronization." To install multiple Netscape Application Servers If the servers are not supporting distributed applications, you can skip this section and install and administer the server as you would a single Netscape Application Server. If the servers are going to support a distributed application, know the host and port of the primary distributed-synchronization server in the cluster to which each server is being added. Begin the installation process. When prompted whether this server is going to participate in distributed data synchronization, click Yes. When prompted for the primary synchronization server, enter that server's host and port information. When prompted for the priority of the server, specify the appropriate number. The registry for the server being installed is updated with the information you enter for that server. Each server that is participating in distributed data synchronization must have the same registry information. See "Configuring a Distributed Data Synchronization Environment."
