Changing a FileMaker Server deployment
You can first deploy on fewer machines and, if the web publishing load increases over time, you can
use the Deployment assistant
to change your FileMaker Server deployment to use up to three
machines.
To change a FileMaker Server deployment:
1. Click FileMaker Server Overview, then click the Edit Server Deployment link.
The Deployment assistant starts.
2. Click Next until you see the options you want to change.
The Deployment assistant shows the current selections.
3. Change any of the selections in these Deployment assistant steps:
• Enabling web publishing
(page 15)
• Enabling technologies for web publishing
(page 16)
• Selecting a deployment type
(page 18)
• Assigning worker machine roles
(page 19)
• Specifying a web server
(page 20)
Except for enabling or disabling specific web publishing technologies, the other steps listed
above can be changed only in the Deployment assistant. You can change all other settings in
the Admin Console panes under Configuration.
4. In the Deployment Summary step, review your selections and click Finish to confirm your
selections.
FileMaker Server implements your deployment changes. This may take a few minutes.
Click Back to return to the previous step or Cancel to cancel the deployment.
Notes
• To change the master machine, you must uninstall FileMaker Server and reinstall it on the
new master machine. You should also uninstall and then reinstall the worker
machines in a
multiple-machine deployment. For more information on upgrading or moving FileMaker
Server from an existing installation, see the F
ILEMAKER SERVER GETTING STARTED GUIDE on
the Start Page.
• You can add one more worker machine to a two-machine deployment and you can add up
to two worker machines to a single-machine deployment.
• You can also remove worker machines from an existing deployment.
