Hi

Can someone please explain (or point to some documents) how can I achieve High Availability for Afaria master and Afaria relay server for on premise installation?

Best regards,

Igor

Hi, Igor,

Sorry for the lack of responses to your question.

For high availability of the Afaria server, you would create a Farm. This simply means that after installing the Master Server, you run the install again on a separate machine, pointing to the same database. The new server will automatically become a Farm Server, also known as a Slave Server. The two machines need to be able to communicate over ports 3005, 3007 and RPC (135). Replication of information not stored in the database is set up automatically.

Multiple instances of the Enrollment and Package servers can be installed on the Afaria machines and/or separate machines. These machines need to be able to communicate with the database and the Master Server over RPC.

Multiple instances of the API Service Host and Administration portal are currently not supported.

Setting up a Relay Server farm is documented here: DocCommentXchange, in particular under Relay Server architecture.

High Availability for a SQL Server database is maintained according to Microsoft's published documentation.

High Availability is available for SQL Anywhere databases, but this is currently not compatible with Afaria.

I hope this helps,
