After you add a device to the HPCA Satellite Servers group, you can deploy the Satellite server component to that device. This is required to enable remote services, including data caching, on that server.
When you deploy the Satellite server component to a device from the HPCA Console, the Core completes the following background processing:
IPC$
share on the remote system. If this access level is not available in your environment, perform a manual installation of the Satellite Server component instead of deploying through the HPCA Console.Note: You can also install the Satellite Server component manually using your HPCA installation media. To register the manually installed Satellite servers, you must first synchronize these Satellites with the Core server.
The Satellite servers that are deployed from the HPCA Core Console register with the HPCA Core server automatically.
The pertinent CLIENT.SAP and POLICY.USER instances are automatically managed by this Satellite registration process. If Satellite data changes such that a SAP/USER change is required, HPCA automatically makes this change.
The HPCA administrator can disable this auto-management process by setting the rmp.cfg
option ENABLE_SAP_MANAGEMENT to 0. By default, this option is ON and is not present in rmp.cfg
. If you disable this option, the Satellite Management user interface (UI) is rendered inoperable and should no longer be used.
Caution: The manual configurations in the rmp.cfg
are for Advanced Implementations ONLY. Do not change settings in rmp.cfg
unless you are a highly experienced HPCA administrator.
