Basic Configuration Tasks

Configuring Client/Server Functions

You cannot directly indicate which node acts as the master server; the master server is selected based on the order in which nodes are added to the configuration server list. If you wish to move a server to the top of the list, remove all other nodes from the list and then add them again.

In the Motif administration program Domain window, you can add a configuration server by selecting Make configuration server from the Selection menu. The server is added to the end of the list; it becomes the master server only if all other configuration servers are unavailable. To remove a server, select Remove configuration server from the Selection menu.

You cannot delete a server if it is the only server listed on which the SNAplus2 software is running, because in this case there is no other server that can take over as the master server. At least one enabled master server is required in a client/server configuration.

You can also use the following administration commands to query, add, and delete configuration servers:

query_sna_net

Lists the servers in the file.

add_backup

Adds a new server to the end of the list.

delete_backup

Removes a server from the list. You can use the delete_backup command to delete either the master server (so that the second server listed takes over as master) or a backup server (so that it can no longer act as the master).
