Chapter 17 Configuring System Operations

Understanding Distributed Deployment

Note ACS 5.3 does not support the large deployment with more than ten ACS instances (one primary and nine secondaries). For more information on ACS server deployments, see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/installation/gui de/csacs_deploy.html.

Activating Secondary Servers

To add a server to a deployment:

Step 1 From the secondary server, issue a request to register on the primary server by selecting the Deployment Operations option.

Step 2 Activate the secondary instance on the primary server.

You must activate the secondary instance on the primary instance in order for the secondary instance to receive configuration information; this provides a mechanism of admission control.

However, there is an option to automatically activate newly added secondary instances, rather than performing a manual activation request.

Removing Secondary Servers

To permanently removed a secondary server from a deployment, you must first deregister the secondary server and then delete it from the primary. You can make the request to deregister a server from either the secondary server to be deregistered or from the primary server.
