Pairing parallel servers¶
After installation, parallel servers must be paired with each other once. Tokens are automatically created and exchanged between the two servers in the parallel server set.
By default, pairing takes place automatically when the two servers connect to each other for the first time.
Parallel servers that are not yet paired with each other are run in pairing mode.
Both the pairing and the execution in pairing mode are displayed as messages in the Windows event display.
Which parallel server is permanently paired can be viewed in the server archive in the file VD$A\Configuration\Local\AccessTokens.txt.
Example of an entry:
256B5E00B195618809B68AA0DDC4A6EDC9124BC78669F6F42268822FA083D479;Admin;192.168.1.145 [30/Sep/2020:13:59:49 +0200] "VDOGPARALLELSERVERB" (parallelserver paired)"
The entry consists of the following columns:
- Token Hash (confidential): 256B5E00B195618809B68AA0DDC4A6EDC9124BC78669F6F42268822FA083D479;
- IP address of the paired computer: 192.168.1.145
- Time of pairing: 30/Sep/2020:13:59:49 +0200
- Computer name of the paired computer: VDOGPARALLELSERVERB
The token with which the server can login to the remote parallel server for synchronization can also be found in the server archive in the file:VD$A\Configuration\Local\NamedTokens\ParallelServer
