Installing a server farm

MobileFirst Server provides a specific plug-in so that instances of application servers can become server farm nodes. After you have prepared the installation depending on your work environment, you can install your server farm manually or by running Ant tasks.

  • Planning the configuration of a server farm
    To plan the configuration of a server farm, choose the application server, write the configuration file, and deploy the WAR files.
  • Configuring a server farm
    You must configure each server in the farm according to the requirements of the single type of application server used for each member of the server farm.
  • Verifying a farm configuration
    To verify a server farm configuration, start all the servers, deploy an application to one of the servers of the farm, and then check the log files of each server to confirm that all servers have been updated.
  • Lifecycle of a server farm node
    You can configure heartbeat rate and timeout values to indicate possible server problems among farm members by triggering a change in status of an affected node.
