There are several ways to configure a server farm. Changes you
make in
Cherwell Server
Manager
will be saved in
Overwatch,
which will propagate the updates to all the servers in your server farm.
To configure a
Cherwell server farm:
- On a
CSM
server, select
.
- Select the
Configure button located next to the
Server farm mode label.
A window opens warning you to stop the server farm before
changing settings.
- Select
Yes.
- Select the
Enable server farm mode check box.
- Define
New Redis Server options:
- In the
Host box, provide the IP address for the
Redis server.
- Use the up and down arrows to select the
Port.
- SelectAdd.
The IP address and Port appear in the
Connect to list. Repeat this step to add all
Redis servers.
- Provide the password for the Redis server. If there are multiple
servers in a master/replica configuration, ensure all servers share the same
password.
- Use the
Connection Timeout setting to specify the
number of seconds the system will wait for a connect operation to complete
before returning a timeout message. On startup, the system evaluates the list
of connections in the order they appear in the
Connect to list, and then attempts to connect
to the first available master. The
Connection Timeout setting determines how long
the system will wait for each Redis endpoint to connect before returning a
timeout.
- Use the
Sync Timeout setting to specify the number of
seconds the system will wait for a Synchronous operation to complete before
returning a timeout.
If you have a master/replica with sentinel configuration and a
replica becomes a master, the
Sync Timeout setting determines how many
seconds will elapse before your application switches to the new master.
- Select
OK.
