Migrating an Interplay Engine Standalone System

Interplay Engine standalone systems (non-cluster systems) are supported on the AS3000

server. The Interplay Engine runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit. No additional

PCIe cards are required. Use one of the Intel Pro/1000 PT ports for your network

connection.

For information on moving an existing Interplay database to a new server, see “Best

Practices for Migrating an Interplay Engine to Another Server” on page 15.

Port Usage for the Interplay Engine Standalone

To enable the Interplay Engine to communicate with the various Interplay clients, the

network must allow UCP and TCP traffic on the following ports:

• Server Browser: 8321 UDP

• Client communication: 80 TCP

Changing System Settings

Several system settings must be changed on the default Windows Server 2008 Standard

image. See “Changing System Settings on Windows Server 2008 Standard Systems” on

page 12.

Best Practices for Migrating an Interplay Engine to

Another Server

The Interplay Engine and Interplay Archive Engine Administration Guide describes how to

move an Interplay Engine database and an Interplay user database to a different server such

as the AS3000. This topic lists procedures that can ensure a smooth transition as you

perform the move.

It is useful to obtain a baseline snapshot of the health of the database and of the Interplay

Engine before moving the Interplay database and users. This allows you to fix any problems

before the move begins. It also provides a record of the state of the system over time. You

can use this information for comparison later.

For information on configuring a cluster system on an AS3000, see “Migrating an Interplay

Engine Cluster” on page 14.
