Install and configure a management server on Node 2

  1. On Node 2, run the Milestone XProtect VMS Products System Installer file.

    The installation files unpack. Depending on your security settings, one or more Windows® security warnings appear. Accept these and the unpacking continues.

  2. After specifying the location of the license file and accepting the license terms, select Custom.

    A list of components to be installed appears. Apart from the management server, all elements in the list are optional.

  3. Select all components EXCEPT the XProtect Recording Server and XProtect Smart Client. Click Continue.

  4. In the Select Microsoft SQL Server window, select Use an existing SQL Server on the network and select the location of the Central SQL Server that you installed in Install new SQL Server failover cluster installation (see "Install a SQL Server failover cluster instance "). Click Continue.

  5. Select Create new database and click Continue.

  6. In the Select Service Account window, select This account and enter the domain Administrator credentials. Click Continue and then click Install.

  7. After the installation is complete, open the XProtect Management Client using the domain Administrator credentials.

  8. From the Tools menu, select Registered Services.

  9. In the Add/Remove Registered Services window, select each service in the list and click Edit.

    In the Edit Registered Service window, modify the URL address to use the Cluster Name.

    Update all of the services listed in the Add/Remove Registered Services window including the Service Channel http and https fields. The new URLs should look something like this:

    • Event Server: http://ClusterName.host:22331/

    • Log Server: http://ClusterName.host:80/LogServer/soapext.dll?logserver

    • Report Server: http://ClusterName.host/Reporting/

    • Service Channel: http://ClusterName.host:80/and https://ClusterName.host:443/

    • Api Gateway: http://ClusterName.host:80/API/

  10. In the Add/Remove Registered Services window, click Network and in the Service address (LAN) field, modify the URL address to use the cluster service address and then click OK.

  11. In the Add/Remove Registered Services window, click Close and exit the XProtect Management Client.

Postrequisite

In general, all XProtect services must be registered to the Management Server address using the Server Configurator. In the cluster setup, this address should point to the cluster role.

Al realizar cambios en la configuración en el Gestor de clústeres de failover de Microsoft, pause el control y monitorice el servicio para que Server Configurator pueda hacer cambios e iniciar y/o parar el servicio de Management Server. Si cambia el tipo de inicio del servicio de clúster de failover, no debe provocar ningún conflicto con el Server Configurator.

En los ordenadores de Management Server:

  1. Inicie Server Configurator en cada uno de los ordenadores que tienen un servidor de gestión instalado.
  2. Vaya a la página Registro.
  3. Haga clic en el símbolo del lápiz () para que la dirección del servidor de gestión sea editable.
  4. Cambie la dirección del servidor de gestión por el nombre del cometido del clúster que aloja el Management Server, por ejemplo http://MyCluster.
  5. Haga clic en Registrar.

En ordenadores que tienen componentes que utilizan el Management Server (por ejemplo, Recording Server, Mobile Server, Event Server, API Gateway):

  1. Inicie Server Configurator en cada uno de los ordenadores.
  2. Vaya a la página Registro.
  3. Cambie la dirección del servidor de gestión por el nombre del cometido del clúster que aloja el Management Server, por ejemplo http://MyCluster.
  4. Haga clic en Registrar.

When this is done, modify all of the recording servers and failover servers to connect to the cluster service address for the management server by doing the following:

  1. On the server where the Recording Server is installed, right-click the Recording Server icon in the tool bar and select Stop Recording Server Service from the menu.

  2. After the Recording Server is stopped, again right-click the Recording Server icon in the tool bar and select Change Settings.

    The Recording Server Settings window appears.

  3. Modify the address for the management server to connect to the cluster service, and click OK.

  4. Right-click the Recording Server icon and select Start Recording Server service to start the Recording Server service again.
