An important feature of your PowerShare System is the ability to replicate
and distribute the contents of catalogs across the network. If there is
excessive load on a server, you can create another server and use it to
store catalog folders�?without altering the structure of the catalog.
However, it is not possible to have more than one PowerShare Catalog
Server running on a Macintosh at the same time. You need another Macintosh
with the following minimum requirements:
* At least one Macintosh computer (using a 68020 or later
processor) with a hard disk.
* A minimum of 4 megabytes of memory for each installed server.
* If both the PowerShare catalog server and the PowerShare mail server
are installed on the same computer you will require at least 8 MB.
* The PowerShare Server system requires system software version 7.1.1
or later. (The PowerShare Installer will install System 7.1.1 if it is
needed.)
Setting up an additional PowerShare Server:
-------------------------------------------
1) Install the PowerShare software on the Macintosh where the new server
will reside. Upon restart, the PowerShare Easy Setup application
starts and displays a dialog box informing you that the Easy Setup
application requires some information to set up the PowerShare System.
2) Click the Later button in the dialog box.
3) Open the PowerShare Server Folder and double-click on the PowerShare
Catalog Server application to start it. A dialog box appears, asking
whether you want to create a new PowerShare System or join an existing
System.
3) Click the Join Existing button. A dialog box appears, prompting you
for an administrator name and password and asking you to select a
PowerShare Catalog to join.
4) Choose a PowerShare System from the pop-up menu at the top of the
window. If the System you want to join is not listed in the menu,
choose Other. The PowerShare Admin application begins searching for
available catalogs on the network, displaying a dialog box that
indicates that a search is in progress. Depending on the size of the
network, the search can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Click Cancel to terminate the search. When all PowerShare Systems have
been located, a dialog box appears listing the names of the available
PowerShare Systems. For example: In the list of PowerShare Systems,
click the System you want to join then click OK. Now that you have
selected a System to administer,you can complete the logon by providing
the administrator name and password.
5) In the appropriate fields, type the administrator name and password
that was specified when the catalog System was set up.
6) When the information is complete, click the OK button. When your
identity is authenticated, a dialog box appears asking you for a name
for the new PowerShare Catalog Server. The new server must have a
unique name. By default, the name of your Macintosh is supplied as the
server name.
7) In the Server Name field, type a unique Catalog Server name.
8) Click the OK button. The Server application creates the new PowerShare
Catalog Server. The new server name is registered for use on the
network and a status window appears, displaying information about the
server's operation. You can see from the status window that the new
server has joined the catalog structure of the selected PowerShare
System. If the System Manger Utility is also running, the System
Monitor window will now list the new server. Because the Catalog Server
is brand new, no catalog folders are stored on it. You can now begin
adding folders and assigning their contents to the new Catalog Server
or you can use the new server to store copies of existing folders.
