Multiple Servers. Multiple Consoles?

Hello All,

I have 2 LDAP servers running in MultiMaster behind a load
balancer. I
also have FDS management consoles running on both.

Is the management console required for each install of FDS ?

Is there a way to consolidate them?


Thanks,
Dave

When you installed the first instance of FDS, it should have
created it 
as the configuration DS.  When you run setup subsequent
times, in 
Typical mode, you will be given the opportunity to register
the new 
instance with the configuration DS.

But of course the console is required to *manage* one or
more instances
of FDS. So it would seem that having the management console
on more than
one server would be beneficial from a high-availability
standpoint. Is
there a method to add an existing install of FDS to an
existing install
of the FDS admin ?

As I said, I have 2 servers in a multimaster configuration.
I am running
the console on both. Can I add the non-local instance of FDS
to the
local version? That would give me the ability to manage both
servers
from either one of the FDS admin consoles.

Thanks,
Dave

It is possible, but not easy.  The best way I can think of
would be to 
actually do this to see what entries are created.  E.g.
setup a new ds 
instance using setup and register it with your configuration
ds.  Take a 
db2ldif dump of o=netscaperoot on your configuration ds
before and 
after, and compare.  Also compare the dse.ldif from the new
console 
instance with the instance that is not in the console.
