Hi everyone, I posted this last week but nobody replied. I thought
I
would send it out there one more time as I'd really like to know what
you experts think. The documentation about what benefits using a
configuration server gives you is lacking.
It allows you to do centralized server management - manage all servers
from a single console.
Just wondering if there are any problems I should be aware of if I
want to setup a single master multiple slave scenario WITHOUT using
the master as a configuration server and just replicating our
directory database (not o=Netscape Root). I'm ok having to connect to
the slave admin servers individually instead of them all showing up in
the console when I connect to the master admin server. Are there any
other drawbacks?
No, not really, If you don't want the centralized console,
then you
don't have to use it. Many Fedora DS users don't use the console/admin
server at all and just manage everything directly with scripts and web
based tools.
What are the benefits of using a configuration server in this scenario?
Thank you,
