Add Server

Adding a server is the process of associating a machine that is running Zend Server to Zend Server Cluster Manager to establish a cluster environment. Once Zend Server is added to Zend Server Cluster Manager, you will no longer be able to directly access the Zend Server Administration Interface on that machine. All setting and configuration tasks will be done through Zend Server Cluster Manager and applied to all machines to maintain consistency throughout the cluster.

When adding a server all the settings and configurations of Zend Server Cluster Manager will be applied to the added server. the exception to this is the option to propagate settings, this option will inherit the Zend Server Settings and apply them to all the servers that have already been associated to Zend Server Cluster Manager and also to any subsequent servers that are added.

Note:

Once a server is added to your cluster the Administration Interface on the Server's side will be disabled and all configurations will be done using Zend Server Cluster Manager. Releasing the server from the cluster will also release the Administration Interface on the server's side.

The Add Server page is accessed from Cluster Setup | Servers, by clicking .

Add Server Information:

• Server Name: a unique name for the server you want to add. This name is used for your identification purposes and therefore should be descriptive enough for you to identify what server it represents.
• Zend Server Address: the direct URL path to the server
• Server Password: the Zend Server administration interface login password that was defined when you first logged in to Zend Server after installing it for the first time. If you installed Zend Server on a server and you did not login at least once you will not be able to add this server to the cluster. To fix this go to the server, login and define your password - you will also at this point enter your license in order to activate Zend Server's functionality.
• Configure all the cluster like this new node: selecting this check box will update your cluster with the configurations on the server you are adding. These configurations will be propagated to all the nodes that have already been added to the cluster. If you don't want to propagate a specific server's setting and instead want the added server to accept the settings as defined in Zend Server - then, leave the check box unmarked.
