To set up a basic configuration of a Failover system, do the following:

  1. Go to the Configuration tab.
  2. Hover the mouse cursor over the  button and click the N+M button.
  3. Add Servers to the configuration.
    1. Click .
    2. Select a specific Server, or add all Servers at once.
  4. Create nodes:
    1. Click .
    2. Enter the node name and click the Proceed button.

    3. Create the required number of nodes. 

      Attention!

      The number of nodes should be less than the number of Servers.

  5. Click the Logging button to set the logging options:
    1. Select Logging Level (1, see Configuring Logging Levels).
    2. Set the settings for the archive of logs (2-4, see Configuring a Log Archive).
  6. Click the Apply button.

    The configuration is now created, and the nodes are now automatically started.
  7. Merge all nodes into a single C-Werk domain (see Connecting to a Node and Configuring of an C-Werk domain).
  8. In a Failover system, we recommend you to physically locate the footage archive on a separate NAS that all servers in the cluster have access to.

For each node, create a separate archive on the NAS (see Creating a network archive).

If the node is moved to a different server, it will continue to write to the specified archive.

The basic configuration of the Failover system is now complete. 

If necessary, you can further edit the configuration. To do so, click . You can perform the following actions:

  • add / remove Servers;
  • add / delete nodes;
  • change logging parameters;
  • completely remove the configuration.

To manually stop or launch a node, click and select the required action.
