Registering a New File Server with the Master Site

Enterprise Administration > File Vaulting and Replication > About the File Server Management Utility > About the File Server Management Utility > Registering a New File Server with the Master Site

Once you have installed a new File Server, you must register it new File Server with the master site.

You cannot register a File Server until the installation is complete and the File Server is accessible by the master site. Other unregistered File Servers can also be listed in the table. You determine whether you want to install and register them or not.

1. In the File Servers table, click the registration icon

2. Complete the following fields on the Register File Server page and then click OK:

Field	Description
File Server Name	The name of the File Server.
File Server URL	The gateway URL of the File Server.
Host	The internal name of the host where the Windchill method servers are running.
Root Folder Path	A valid root folder path under which the folders of the File Server vault resides. The root folder path is the path for the storage location on the host (under which folders are created automatically as required) where the content is stored.

The master site system does the following:

• Creates the site and the supporting objects.

• Sends the configuration to the newly created File Server.

• Validates the mounts.

If the validation is successful, an OK message appears along with a summary. The system sends a notification about the event to the Windchill site manager.

If an error occurs, a message appears to notify you of the error. You can modify the storage location that failed validation and then try again.

A hybrid configuration where master is SSL and replica is not SSL is not supported.
