Configuring the lead primary server

The lead primary server is the first primary server installed and becomes the initial active primary. Configuration includes mounting shared storage and running the configuration script.

To configure the lead primary server:

  1. Log in as the system user (aiw1 is the default).
  2. Stop RICOH ProcessDirector. Open a command prompt and type: 
    stopaiw
  3. To update the permissions for configureMP.pl, type:
    chmod +x /aiw/aiw1/bin/configureMP.pl
  4. Run the script for setting up the alternate primary server and the UI server. Type:
    /aiw/aiw1/bin/configureMP.pl primary2_hostname ui_server_hostname

    where primary2_hostname and ui_server_hostname are the IP addresses or host names of the alternate primary server and the UI server.

  5. After running the script, to make sure the configuration is correct:
    • Open the /aiw/aiw1/config/servers.cfg file and verify that the primary1 and primary2 entries were created.
  6. Install the Multiple Primary feature. Type this command:
    xact -d /opt/infoprint/ippd/available/MultiplePrimary-*.epk
  7. Continue with installing the alternate primary server. Repeat the install procedure that you used for the lead primary server:
