If you no longer need a server as a Directory server for Directory failover or load
balancing, you can remove it from the Directory failover list.
What you should know
Do not try to remove a server from the Directory failover list by deactivating the
Directory on that server from Server Admin. Your
change will not be permanent because the Directory Manager will change it back to a Directory
server.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task and click the
Roles view.
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task and click the
Roles view.
-
Select the Directory Manager (
) role, and then click the Directory servers
tab.
-
Select the servers you want to remove, and click Remove the item
(
).
-
Update your license to
exclude the servers you’ve just removed.
-
Click Apply.
Results
The removed servers become expansion servers, and the updated license is applied to
all remaining Directory servers. Users can no longer connect to the system using the servers
that have been removed. Clients connected to Security Center through these servers are disconnected, and
reconnected to the remaining Directory servers.
Example
You just added a new computer to your system and want to use the server on that
computer as a Directory server; however, you are already using five Directory servers. You can
remove one of the existing servers from the Directory failover list to make room for the new
server.
