RE: Can iSLM Server and Database Be Installed on Different Hosts?
Can iSLM Server and DB be installed on different hosts?
Sure, but the DB server does not support using NAS.
Relocation Steps Between Different Hosts (Steps for Relocating Server1 to Server2):
- Step 1: Stop the iSLM service on Server1.
Launch MDXiSLMStartUpTool as Administrator and Stop all services after
- Step 2: Stop the iSLM-DB service on Server1.
Execute Moldex3D iSLM Stop DB as an Administrator, and use the job administrator to confirm that all services starting with Moldex3D iSLM have been Stopped. If there are any, you can right-click to stop it manually (Moldex3D iSLM DataBase Server should be the least stopped)
- Step 3: Copy the database from Server1 to Server2.
Copy the folder data into the iSLM-DB installation path of Server1 (or another user-specified path during installation) to Server2. It is recommended to place it in the default path C:\Moldex3D\iSLM-DB or a disk with larger space
- Step 4: Reinstall iSLM and iSLM-DB on Server2.
Launch installation of iSLM (optional) and iSLM-DB on Server2, and directs the iSLMDB Data Folder to the folder copied from Server1
ￚ If no need to install iSLM on Server2, refer to Step 5 to modify Server1 settings, or otherwise refer to Step 6.
- Step 5: Scenario where iSLM remains on Server1 but iSLM-DB is on Server2.
If iSLM and iSLM-DB are not both installed on Server2,
ￚ In Configure menu of StartUp Tool, click Database to modify iSLM setting (Server1)
ￚ Select islmDB as the Database Name, and specify Host with Server2 IP
ￚ After the modification saved, click Start to activate the iSLM service
- Step 6: Scenario where both iSLM and iSLM-DB are removed from Server1.
ￚ After confirming the connection to the iSLM-DB on Server2, the iSLM web can be used normally. The Moldex3D-iSLM-DB can be removed via the control panel on Server1 by using the uninstall program feature.
ￚ The original folder of Server1 will be retained and can be removed if the service working fine through Server2
