Each backup server in the list is given a priority. By default the local 2X
Publishing Agent is given the Master priority and this cannot be changed. One
can change the priority of the backup server.
To assign a higher priority in the backup list select the required backup server
from the list and click ‘Move up’.
To assign a lower priority in the backup list select the required backup server
from the list and click ‘Move Down’.
The Backup Server with priority configured as ‘Backup Server 1’ will be the
first backup server to take over in case the Master Server is not available.
Additional backup servers will take over in case ‘Backup Server 1’ is also not
available according to their priority.
Promoting a Backup server to a Master Server
When the primary server cannot be recovered due to various reasons such as
hardware failure or OS startup failure one can easily promote a 2X Backup
Server to a Master server.
First launch the 2X VirtualDesktopServer Console located in the backup
server.
NOTE: When you add and install 2X Backup Servers, all the required files are
automatically installed remotely on each backup server. Therefore to launch
the 2X Console of a backup server, one can easily launch 2X Console located
at “C:\Program Files\2X\VDS\2XConsole.exe”.
