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.
