Multiple DSS servers
There are several reasons for considering using multiple DSS servers:
●
If there are more than 1000 products to be managed, then more than one server is necessary.
●
If the load on any one server is too great for its hardware capability. This can happen if many
devices are regularly sending very large jobs, if OCR is used frequently, or if network bandwidth
is limited.
●
For highly distributed systems of devices (depending on the available network infrastructure),
multiple, distributed DSS servers help to ensure network reliability and bandwidth between the
DSS servers and the products they manage.
DSS servers function independently of any other DSS server and do not, by themselves, form any
type of clustering for enhanced functionality. This means that DSS servers will not share licenses.
Each server must have the appropriate number of license seats to support its attached devices.
Separate DSS servers also do not share address books or job logs.
DSS servers can be installed into a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 cluster for enhanced failover
functionality. For detailed instructions on how to install DSS into an MS Server 2008 clustered
environment, please see the white paper on this subject that is available at
www.hp.com/support/dss.
