In this example:
n
Redundant Servers support several Stations in the same workgroup topology.
n
All nodes belong to the same IP multicast group using the same IP multicast address,
which forms them into an FTE Community.
n
System Performance Server (SPS) should be installed on all Experion servers.
n
The System Event Server is installed on only one of the redundant server pairs.
n
The System Event Server scope of 'domain' (its default setting) is appropriate for this
workgroup topology.
n
When there are multiple Experion servers in an FTE Community, the Distributed
System Architecture (DSA) option should be enabled so that the servers can share SES
event data.
n
Each server in the FTE Community subscribes to the server hosting the SES.
Domain with no Organizational Units (OUs)
In the following figure, a simple domain with no Organizational Units (OUs) topology is
shown to illustrate planning considerations to support event notifications to the System Status
display and its Network tree.
