Deploying FileMaker Server across multiple machines 33
21. Select a deployment type. Click Next. For more information, see “Deployment alternatives” on page 21.
22. Assign a worker machine to each role (Web Publishing Engine or web server). Click Next.
1 The Deployment assistant detects all unassigned worker machines on the local network and shows
their IP addresses in the Machines list beside each role. If a worker is not listed, click Rescan. Then
check to see whether the worker is listed.
1 If a worker's IP address is still not listed, enter the address in IP Address and click Lookup. The IP
address you entered is added to the Machines list if the machine responds and is an available worker.
Note You will not be able to see the worker machines if the required ports of the firewall are not open.
(See
“Before you begin” on page 25.) See “Deployment assistant reports that the web server test failed”
