The quick configuration wizard is a tool that is intended to help you quickly configure and start up your cluster and connect
users. It takes you in a easy-to-follow wizard format through all the steps needed to configure all the required items and
then start the services and launch a session.
The Quick Configuration Wizard starts automatically in these situations:
|
• |
If you select to start it at the end of the setup program. |
|
• |
After you have created the database structure or connected to an empty cluster database. |
|
• |
You can start it manually at any time from .
|
The wizard takes you through the steps listed below. The completed steps are shown in bold font as you go forward. Every step
(where applicable) allows you to configure multiple items (like entering multiple license keys or configuring two users).
You are prompted at the end of every step to confirm whether you want to add another configuration item of the same type (like
a second user). If you click
Yes, the wizard repeats the step.
|
2. |
Creating or connecting to a cluster database: This step allows you to initiate the configuration by either creating a new cluster database or connecting to an existing
one. This step does not show when you start the wizard manually while your selection is in a connected cluster.
|
|
3. |
Entering license keys: This step allows you to enter one or more license keys. License keys are required to continue the configuration.
|
|
4. |
Configuring the cluster properties: This step allows you to validate the parameters required for proper operation (for example, if your web server uses a port
other than the default 80, you must change this value here).
|
|
5. |
Adding Servers: This step allows you to add one or more server machines definitions to the cluster.
|
|
6. |
Adding Cluster Services: This step allows you to add one or more cluster service machines definitions to the cluster.
|
|
7. |
Adding hosts: This step allows you to add one or more new host definitions to the cluster.
|
|
8. |
Adding Groups: This step allows you to create one or more new groups to the cluster based on the Default Group Properties.
|
|
9. |
Adding Sessions: This step allows you to add one or more session definitions to the cluster linked to the hosts' definitions created in the
previous step. In this step you must select the type of session (single session or pool, display, printer or file transfer)
and then click Add Session. To add more sessions, click Add Session again. Note that the sessions created using the wizard are assigned to all the groups and users created in the wizard.
|
|
10. |
Adding Users: This step allows you to add one or more user definitions to the cluster. Users become members of the groups created in the
previous step.
|
|
11. |
Start all the services: This step starts all the services added in the steps above (servers and cluster services).
|
|
12. |
Provide a link to use to connect a session through the browser: This step informs you that the wizard has completed successfully and services were started. It provides you with hyperlinks
to start a browser with the start-up page where you can start and connect a display, printer or file transfer session according
to what you have configured in the wizard.
