Add New Server Dialog

In addition to the local installation of Syniti Data Replication, you can view and manage remote installations of Syniti DR from the Management Center. The Add New Server dialog allows you to add a remote Syniti DR server to the Management Center.

Server Name

Type the network name of the server you wish to add. The system should already have an installed copy of Syniti DR with the Server Agent running.

Server Address

Type the IP address for the server.

Port

In most cases, you do not need to change the default setting. If you have specific requirements for a different port number for the Syniti DR Server, enter a new value here. You will also need to edit the Replication Agent Options and set the port number there.

  1. In the Metadata Explorer, select the server.

  2. From the right mouse button menu, choose Replication Agent Options.

  3. In the Replication Agent Options dialog, go to the Advanced Tab.

  4. Edit the value for the Agent IP Port field.

Authentication

Select the option below that matches your user settings for the new server. The options are:

AnonymousAccess
No login details are requested from the user. This is the default setting for installations where Syniti DR security has not been enabled. To enable Syniti DR security, go to the User Settings dialog.

Syniti DR Authentication
If Syniti DR security has been enabled via the User Settings dialog, and you have been directed by your administrator to use Syniti DR Authentication, select this option, then type your user name and password in the fields below. Syniti DR authentication requires the use of a X.509 certificate. Verify that a certificate has been installed correctly before completing this dialog. If you do not have a correctly installed certificate, you may not be able to use the Management Center.

Windows Authentication
If Syniti DR security has been enabled via the User Settings dialog, and you have been directed by your administrator to use Windows Authentication, select this option. Syniti DR will verify that your Microsoft Windows login and ID are legitimate before allowing you to continue working in the Management Center.

Certificate Authentication
If Certificate has been enabled via the User Settings dialog, and you have been directed by your administrator to use Certificate Authentication, select this option. Certificate authentication requires the use of a X.509 certificate. Verify that a certificate has been installed correctly before completing this dialog. If you do not have a correctly installed certificate, you may not be able to use the Management Center.

User Name

Active only when Syniti DR Authentication has been selected. Enter the user name assigned to you by the administrator. If you do not know your user name, verify login information with your administrator or try setting the Authentication value to AnonymousAccess (no security) or Windows Authentication (uses your Microsoft Windows login and password.)

Password

Active only when Syniti DR Authentication has been selected. Enter the password assigned to you by the administrator.  Syniti DR will verify that your Syniti DR login and ID are legitimate before allowing you to continue working in the Management Center.

 If you do not know your password, verify login information with your administrator or try setting the Authentication value to AnonymousAccess (no security) or Windows Authentication (uses your Microsoft Windows login and password.)

Server activity can be monitored through the Server Log, available by selecting the server, then choosing View Server Log from the right mouse button menu. For more information, see Reviewing Server Activity.
