Adding Server Locations

Before you deploy a server (mobile device or infrastructure) to a server location, you must add that server location to the Avalanche Console. When you create a new server location, you give the server location a name and identify the IP address and physical location.

Location Name	Name of the new server location.
Hide inherited profiles and device groups	Any inherited profiles or device groups are not displayed for the location.
IP Address or hostname	IP address of the server location.
OS Platform	The operating system of the computer where the server will be installed.
Name	The city where the server will reside. This allows Avalanche to plot the server location on its map. When you provide a city name, Avalanche will attempt to connect to a database on the Wavelink web site to find cities with that name.
State	The state where the server will reside.
Country	The country where the server will reside.
Latitude and Longitude	The coordinates of the server location.
Time Zone	The time zone for the area where the server resides. If servers are in different time zones, this can affect synchronization schedules.
Admin user	The username for an account that has administrative access to the computer where the server will be installed. The user must have full control for the shared folder.
Admin Password	The password for the user account.
Domain	The domain for the user account.
Share Name	The name of a shared folder on the computer where the server will be installed. The user must have full control for this folder. This folder must be created and shared access allowed before you attempt to deploy a server to the server location or the deployment will fail.
Share Path	The path for the shared folder. This path is NOT the network path (such as \\system1\deploy\), but is the local path to the shared folder (such as c:\deploy\).

To add a server location:

Navigate to the region where you will put the server location and click the Locations context link.

In the Sub-locations panel, click New.

In the New Subordinate Location dialog box, click Server.

The New Server Location page appears.

Configure the options as desired. If you prefer to plot the location on a map rather than provide the latitude and longitude, click the Use map to plot button. When you are finished, click Save.

The server location appears in the region where you created it. You can assign the server location to a different region, deploy servers to the server location or modify the server location. For information on deploying servers, see the Java Console help.
