2. On the Set Server Identities web page: Enter the unique Server ID in the ID field (1-99).
The ID field can be found to the right of the Host Name field.
You assign a unique Server Identification number (SVID) to each server. The SVID must be
in the range of 1 to 99. Each server in a server pair (S8700 series media servers) requires a
different SVID. You can assign the SVID sequentially or allow gaps in the numbering such
as 10, 20, 30, etc.
Note:
Note: Each Server ID in an enterprise must be unique. You will enter the Server ID in
the system-parameters ess form when you administer ESS. You cannot
enter duplicate server IDs in this form.
3. On the Configure Enterprise Survivable Server web page:
a. Select the server type:
● For an ESS server select:
- This is an enterprise survivable server with an S8700 series media server as
the main server, or
- This is an enterprise survivable server with an S8500 media server as the
main server.
● For a Main server select:
- This is NOT an enterprise survivable server, and select Change.
b. For the ESS server, complete the following fields under the section you selected in the
previous step (step a):
● Enter the CLAN IP address that will be used when the ESS server registers with the
Main server. See CLAN access for ESS registration
on page 65 for more information.
● Enter the IP address(es) for the Main server. This IP address(es) will be used for
synchronizing the translation file between the Main server and the ESS server.
