Installing UMS Server and UMS Load Balancer on Separate ServersIf you install HA network components on separate servers, UMS Server must always be installed first. In this case, the IGEL network token, which is required for the integration of further servers into the HA network, will be created. Additionally, the UMS Administrator application, necessary for the further management of the installation, will be installed too. After configuring and enabling the database via the UMS Administrator, the UMS Server will be available in the HA network. If you install an individual UMS Load Balancer, neither the IGEL network token nor UMS Console nor UMS Administrator will be installed. Only the option for uninstalling the UMS will then be set up in the Windows start menu. |
