To delete a spoke server:
1. On the hub server, click the System tab.
2. Click DSView Server in the top navigation bar. The side navigation bar will include the
name of the server to which you are logged in.
3. Click Properties in the side navigation bar, and then click Spoke Servers. The Spoke
Servers window will open.
4. Click the checkbox to the left of the spoke servers you wish to delete. To delete all spoke
servers, click the checkbox to the left of Name at the top of the list.
5. Click Delete. A confirmation dialog box will appear.
6. Confirm or cancel the deletion.
NOTE: When a spoke server is deleted, it is no longer allowed to communicate with the hub server. Only spoke
servers that are no longer active should be deleted. If a spoke server is still active, it may be re-registered using the
Register Spoke Server wizard.
Promoting spoke servers
Promoting a spoke server to be a hub server is usually done only if the current hub server is no
longer operational and will not be brought back into service. (For less severe problems with a
hub server, the backup and restore operations can be used.)
If a spoke server must be promoted, be sure to run the replication task, if possible (see
Replication on page 84) on all other spoke servers, then on the spoke server being promoted,
immediately before the promotion. This will prevent loss of data from the other spoke servers.
(After the promotion of a spoke server to a hub, if the server that was originally the hub
becomes operational again, it will have to register as a spoke server, since a system can have
only one hub server.)
To promote a spoke server to be a hub server:
1. On the spoke server, click the System tab.
2. Click Tools in the side navigation bar.
3. Click Promote to hub server. The Promote Hub Server Wizard will appear.
4. Follow the prompts and heed the cautionary warnings in the wizard. The spoke server on
which the wizard is running will become the hub server, and the other spoke servers will
be advised of the changed configuration.
