4.8 Server Groups

The Server Groups feature allows the user to assign a function, parent relationships, and levels to a group of servers that share the same role, such as NOAM, SOAM, and MP servers. For vSTP-MPs, MPs work as a vSTP server group can be configured as STP. The purpose of this feature is to define database relationships to support the high availability architecture. This relates to replication, availability, status, and reporting at the server level.

From the Server Groups page users can create new groups, edit groups, delete groups, and generate reports that contain server group data. Servers can be added or removed from existing groups using the edit function.

The Server Groups page can be accessed from the main menu by navigating to Configuration, and then Server Groups. The page displays a grid reflecting all currently configured server groups.

Note:

Depending on the application configuration, the preferred HA role preference, or NE HA Pref, may not be displayed.
