Server replication requirements
Before setting up or using Xmedia Server’s replication, you should ensure that the servers
respect the specific guidelines and requirements that are necessary to support replication.
The following table briefly lists the mandatory requirements for Xmedia Server replication.
Instructions for verifying that both servers conform to the replication requirements are
provided in the following sections:
•
“Verify the servers’ dongles Machine IDs” on page 6-8
• “Verify the registered licenses on both servers” on page 6-9
• “Verify the SQL Server versions on both servers” on page 6-10
• “Verify the XmediaServer software versions on both servers” on page 6-10
• “Verify and/or install the Vertigo Xmonitor service” on page 6-11
Licenses A matching dongle on each machine is an absolute requirement
and the servers’ licenses must also be identical.
Database type SQL Server is required.
Static IP Addresses Acquire two mandatory static IP addresses from your IT
department. These IP addresses are required to monitor network
connectivity.
Virtual IP Address Acquire an additional static IP address from your IT department.
This IP address is only required for MOS Enabled environments.
Matching Software Both servers (primary & secondary) must be using identical
software versions (OS, SQL-Server, patch levels, MSXML,
Vertigo Suite...etc.)
Xmonitor Service The Xmonitor service must be installed on each server to
maintain virtual IP address in a MOS Enabled environment.
