Chapter 4 Using Central Administration : Adding EMS Servers to Central Administration

Adding EMS Servers to Central Administration
This section describes the steps needed to add a running server to Central Administration, duplicate an existing server, or remove an EMS server from Central Administration.
Add a Server
To add a running, JSON-configured tibemsd to Central Administration:
1.
2.
Navigate to the main Server List page in Central Administration by clicking the Servers link.
3.
In the filter box, enter a name to identify the server. For example, server1. The server name entered here is used only in Central Administration and must be unique.
Names can only contain letters, digits, dashes and underscores. Spaces are not allowed.
4.
Click Create.
5.
6.
Click Add Server.
The Central Administration server attempts to connect to the EMS server using the URL provided. After successfully connecting, the new server appears in the list of managed servers and can be accessed and configured through the web interface. The server configuration file is saved to the deployment archive.
Duplicate an Existing Server
You can create and deploy a new EMS server by duplicating the configuration of an existing server. Duplicating a server can be used to clone a configuration, perform some changes, and deploy it to a different server. Duplicating a server is also the easiest method to change the name identifying the EMS server in the Central Administration server list. Simply provide the duplicate server with the desired name, and delete the source server after the duplication.
To duplicate an existing server:
1.
Navigate to the main Server List page in Central Administration.

The server name entered here is used only in Central Administration and must be unique.
Central Administration creates a copy of the server’s JSON configuration file. This copy can then be edited and deployed.
Rename a Server Configuration
You can rename an existing EMS server configuration from the Server List page. This changes the name that is used to identify the server in Central Administration.
To rename a server:
1.
Navigate to the main Server List page in Central Administration.

The server name entered here is used only in Central Administration and must be unique.
Remove a Server from Central Administration

To remove a sever from Central Administration:

In the confirmation dialog that opens, click Delete to remove the server or Cancel to leave the server in Central Administration.
