4.4.5 Multi-server configuration
A configuration that contains database server in addition to the management server can provide load balancing for the management server. This configuration is called a multi-server configuration. Use a multi-server configuration to manage more than 10,000 devices.
A multi-server configuration requires site servers.
The following figure shows the multi-server configuration.
- Important note
-
The database server must be placed in the same network segment as the management server.
- Important note
-
Migration from a single-server configuration system to a multi-server configuration system is possible, but migration from a multi-server configuration system to a single-server configuration system is not.
- Important note
-
After migration from a single-server configuration system to a multi-server configuration system, operation logs acquired by the management server can no longer be referenced, but operation logs acquired by the site servers can still be referenced.
- Tip
-
Setting up the management server and the database server in a cluster configuration improves availability.
