Satellite Management
Linux satellite configurations are registered with a master when the satellite configuration is saved. Satellites are registered with the master to make them available to run data connector processes to service requests from OpenSpirit tools and OpenSpirit enabled applications.
Windows satellites are not registered with a master. For more information, see the OpenSpirit Runtime Configurations section of this guide for an explanation of satellite and master configurations.
The unregister satellite button is used to remove satellite installations that have been registered with a master. Unregistering a satellite makes it unavailable for starting data connector processes from OpenSpirit enabled applications being run from the master or from another satellite. Satellites should be unregistered before they are deleted from the file system they were installed and configured on. Unregistering a satellite does not remove the satellite's configuration directory, it just removes its registration entry from the master's metadata repository.
The unregister satellite button is enabled when a master configuration is open, the Satellites tab is selected, and one or more satellites are selected. The selected satellites are unregistered when the unregister button is pressed. A new satellite configuration must be created to restore an unregistered satellite.
