Implementing a Cherwell Server Farm

Consider setting up a single-server farm for testing and sizing purposes. The single-server configuration ensures that Redis is configured correctly and measures how much memory the Redis Servers need.

To implement a Cherwell Server Farm (high-level):

  1. Distribute the requests to a single server across multiple servers.
  2. Use a load balancer to distribute requests among servers.
  3. Size the infrastructure to increase the number of Users and considering the levels of reliability you want to provide.
Warning: Do not attempt to implement these processes if you are not an advanced User. Serious network and system issues can occur.

Setting up a Single-server Farm

To set up a single-server farm:

  1. Install the Cherwell Application Server and Cherwell Web Server on a single machine.
  2. In the Server Manager, turn on Server Farm features and connect to Redis. For more information, see Configure a Cherwell Server Farm.
  3. Do not set up a load balancer.

    At this point you have a single server that behaves as if it is part of a farm. Open the Portal and Browser Client to see the data being stored in Redis.
