Setting Up Delivery Manager Resilience
Delivery Manager’s two resilience models are determined by the number of instances of
the Delivery Manager services are running, the number of framework servers the service is
installed on and how the endpoints are configured for each instance.
This chapter explains the best practices for setting each resilience model.

How to Set Up a Load Balanced System
To load balance your Delivery Manager system, you need to have all of your required
endpoints shared between two or more instances of the Delivery Manager service, ideally
running on separate framework servers.
To set up a load balanced system on multiple servers
1 Install Delivery Manager on two or more framework servers, as described in Installing
the Delivery Manager service , on page 11.
2 Create new configuration profiles on each server, as described in Creating a New
Configuration Profile , on page 15.
3 Add and configure your required endpoints.
For information on the properties that are common to most of the endpoints, see
Generic Endpoint Configuration Settings , on page 17.
Specific instructions for each endpoint type can be found on the following pages:
• Adding a CIFS Endpoint , on page 21.
• Adding an FTP Endpoint , on page 24.
• Adding a Pitch Blue Endpoint , on page 26.
• Adding a DIVA Endpoint , on page 27.
• Adding MassTech Endpoints , on page 32.
• Adding a PathFire Endpoint , on page 34.
• Adding Ardome Endpoints , on page 36.
• Adding FlashNet Endpoints , on page 37.
• Adding Core Endpoints , on page 39.
Make sure each server has different endpoints configured on them.
4 Configure each framework server to run the required instance, as described in
Configuring Server Controller to run a named instance of Delivery Manager , on
page 51.
