Configuring Backup Management Servers for the Java GUI
Configuring Backup Management Servers for
the Java GUI
Java GUI clients can automatically reconnect to one or more backup
management servers, if the currently connected OVO management
server suddenly becomes unavailable, for example because of a system
failure.
If the connection is disrupted, the Java GUI tries to connect to the
current OVO management server by default three times. If all reconnects
fail, Java GUI users are asked whether they want to connect to the next
backup management server in the list or continue trying to connect to
the current management server. If they choose the current management
server, the Java GUI will try to connect until the server can be reached
again or until the Java GUI is closed.
If the user names and passwords of the connecting OVO users are known
on all participating management servers, the Java GUI reconnects to a
backup server without displaying the Login dialog box.
You can configure the number and order of backup management servers
for each OVO management server, as well as the number of reconnect
attempts of the Java GUI client by setting parameters for the ovconfchg
command line tool:
❏ Backup management servers
Use the keyword OPC_JGUI_BACKUP_SRV to create a list of OVO
backup management servers for connecting Java GUIs. Use commas
or colons to separate the management server hostnames.
In the following example, the OVO management servers ovo1.hp.com
and ovo2.hp.com are configured as backup servers for all connecting
Java GUIs:
ovconfchg -ovrg server -ns opc -set OPC_JGUI_BACKUP_SRV \
ovo1.hp.com,ovo2.hp.com
