Sample - Configuring a Global Server

The following command sequence sets up a global server for www.wwmed.com.

Create the global server:

bstnA6k(gbl)# global server ac1.medarch.org

This will create a new global server.

Create global server 'ac1.medarch.org'? [yes/no] yes

Join a Windows domain, MEDARCH.ORG:

bstnA6k(gbl-gs[ac1.medarch.org])# windows-domain MEDARCH.ORG

Bind to the current ARX, “bstnA6k.” Assign a VIP address, 192.168.25.15, to the

server:

bstnA6k(gbl-gs[ac1.medarch.org])# virtual server bstnA6k 192.168.25.15 255.255.255.0 vlan

Identify the local WINS server:

bstnA6k(gbl-gs[ac1.medarch.org])# wins 192.168.25.20

Enable and exit both the virtual server and the global server:

bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[ac1.medarch.org~192.168.25.15])# enable

bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[ac1.medarch.org~192.168.25.15])# exit

bstnA6k(gbl-gs[ac1.medarch.org])# enable

bstnA6k(gbl-gs[ac1.medarch.org])# exit

bstnA6k(gbl)#

For a global server to host any back-end services (such as filer storage), you must

configure one or more front-end services. The front-end services provide access to

namespace storage; the virtual server(s) run the front-end services on behalf of the

global server. Chapter 11, Configuring Front-End Services, describes how to

configure various front-end services for a global server.
