Adding a server

About this task

You can use the New Server command to add a server.

Procedure

  1. Select Content Manager OnDemand Servers.
  2. From the File menu, select New Server to open the Add a Server window.
  3. Type the name of the server in the Server field. The server name identifies the server in the navigator pane of the administrator window. You can use an alias, the actual computer or network name of the workstation, or any other identifier you choose. By default, the administrative client copies what you type to the Host Name field.
  4. Verify the value of the Host Name field. (By default, the Host Name field contains the same value as the Server field.) The host name can be a host name alias, fully-qualified host name, or IP address of the server.
  5. Verify the Protocol. Choose from TCP/IP and Local:
    • TCP/IP. Use TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) as the network protocol. To use TCP/IP, the server and the client must include TCP/IP in the protocol stack.
    • Local. Define a server that uses the file system on this workstation. After you define a local server, you must use the Setup command to initialize the database on the local server.
  6. For TCP/IP, verify the Port Number over which the library server and the client communicate.
    The default value, 0 (zero), means that the server and client communicate over the port number assigned to the Content Manager OnDemand TCP/IP service. If the Content Manager OnDemand TCP/IP service is not assigned a port number, the server and client will attempt to communicate over port number 1445. If the Content Manager OnDemand TCP/IP service is not assigned a port number and you plan to use a port number other than 1445, then you must enter a valid port number. The value range is from 0 to 65535.
  7. If you are adding a Windows server, you should select Attempt Unified Logon; otherwise, you should clear the Attempt Unified Logon check box. See the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms: Installation and Configuration Guide for more information about unified logon.
  8. If you are adding a Local server, specify a Directory and select an Operating System and a Database. See the online help for assistance.
  9. If you are adding a server that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), select Use Secure Sockets Layer. If your server does not support SSL, SSL is not used even if you select this check box.
  10. Click OK to add the server.
