3.5 Spoke Servers
Information on the hub server is replicated on one or more spoke servers. Information about each spoke server, such as
the IP address, port number and certificate, is stored in the hub server’s database. You may specify up to 15 DTX Control
servers as spoke servers.
NOTE: The DTX Control software versions of the spoke server and hub server must match in order to register a spoke server. For example, you
may not register a spoke server running DTX Control software version 3.1 with a hub server running DTX Control software version 3.2.
A spoke server may be created by converting a hub server. To do this, register the hub server as a spoke to another
DTX Control hub server. The DTX Control system data on the hub server being converted will be lost and the converted
hub server will replicate the data of the new specified hub server.
You may also change the properties of a spoke server or remove spoke servers from your system.
To display a list of spoke servers:
NOTE: The Spoke Servers window is only available on the hub server.
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click DTX Control 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.
You may change the fields that display by using the Customize link.
Each spoke server in the list includes status.
Table 3.4: DTX Control Spoke Server Status
Status Cause
Responding Normal operation. The hub and spoke servers are communicating with each other using HTTPS.
Not responding
The hub and spoke servers cannot communicate with each other using HTTPS. This typically indicates a network communication
error. Ensure that network connectivity is occurring between the two servers.
Hub/Spoke
Versions Not
Compatible
The versions of DTX Control software on the hub and spoke servers are not compatible.
Certificates Do
Not Match
Certificates on the hub server and spoke servers do not match.
Invalid Server or
Versions Not
Compatible
A server responded, but it is not compatible with the DTX Control software. This typically occurs when communication is attempted
with a server that does not contain the software, or if either server contains an older version of the software. Ensure that both
servers are running the same DTX Control software version.
To add a spoke server:
1. Install the DTX 5000-CTL Management Appliance on the computer that will be used as a spoke server.
2. Configure the computer as a spoke server.
To register a hub server as a spoke server:
Only DTX Control administrators may access this procedure.
