Adding a Standalone Database Server to the SiteConfig system description

  • The system description must contain a group.

This topic applies to a Standalone Database Server.

  1. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, right-click a group and select Add Device.

    The Add Device dialog opens.

  2. Configure settings for the device you are adding as follows:
    • Family: GV STRATUS
    • Device Type: GV STRATUS Server
    • Model: GV STRATUS Database Server
    • Name – This is the device name, as displayed in the SiteConfig device tree view and device list view. This name can be different than the host name (network name). You can accept the default name or enter a name of your choice. Devices in the tree view are sorted alphabetically.
    • Amount — Select the number of databases, according to your system design.
    • Platform — Select x64.
    • Control network– Select the control network.
    • Starting Address – Select from the list of available addresses on the selected control network. If adding multiple devices, this is the starting address, with addresses assigned sequentially to each device added.
  3. Click OK to save settings and close. SiteConfig adds the standalone database server to the system description as a placeholder device.
  4. Verify that unmanaged control network interface is configured correctly and modify if necessary.
Next, add the standalone database server to the control network.
