Appliance Components

It is important to understand the roles played by the components of the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Appliance.

EMS Server Instance
The appliance comes with the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server installed and ready to run. An EMS server instance is a TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server running on the appliance. The availability of EMS server instances depends on the appliance configuration selected, whether single, fault tolerant, or disaster recovery.

See TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Instances for more information.

HDD Location
The HDD location is standard on all appliance models. An active EMS server instance writes store files to the HDD location.
SSD Location
The SSD location is available only on the high performance model of the appliance. This store file location is allocated on a high performance file system. On a high performance model appliance, store files are placed on the SSD location by default.
Command Line Interface
Once powered on, the appliance is controlled using commands issued on the command line interface (CLI). For more information, see Chapter 4, Commands.

The figure below shows the relationship between these primary appliance components in a fault tolerant configuration.
