NOTE: All appliances (nodes) in a fabric must be from same Junos Space
release. For example, a fabric comprises Junos Space Release 1.4 appliances
or Junos Space Release 2.0 appliances, but not both.
Single Node Functionality
When the fabric comprises a single appliance, all devices in the managed network connect
to the appliance. When you install and configure the first appliance, Junos Space
automatically creates a fabric with one node. By default, a fabric that consists of a single
node provides complete Junos Space management functionality, with the following node
functions enabled for the node:
•
Load Balancer— for processing HTTP requests from remote browsers and NBI clients
•
Database— for processing database requests (create, read, update, and delete
operations)
•
Application Logic— for processing back-end business logic (Junos Space service
requests) and DML workload (device connectivity, device events, and logging)
NOTE: A fabric that comprises a single node provides no workload balancing
and no backup if the appliance goes down.
