Using Server Management to Replicate Configurations Parent topic

You can use Server Management to replicate any or all of your configurations from one ScanMail server to another. Replicating servers in this way is much faster and easier than configuring each server separately. In addition, it ensures that all ScanMail servers that provide the same kind of protection share the same configuration.

Procedure

  1. Click Server management to open the Server Management screen.
  2. Select target servers.
  3. Click Replicate.
    The Replication Settings screen appears.
  4. Select the settings that you want to replicate:
    • Click All settings to replicate all the configurations to the target server(s)
    • Click Specified settings to set each configuration that you want to replicate individually
    • Click FIPS Settings to replicate FIPS settings to the target server(s)
      Note
      Note
      Changing FIPS mode settings requires restarting the ScanMail services.
    Note
    Note
    The server on which you are currently logged on is the source for the replication.
  5. Select the check box to overwrite server-dependent settings. When this check box is selected, ScanMail can copy directory paths that you have set for such folders as the quarantine and backup folders.
  6. Click Deploy.
    A screen appears showing a progress bar and the ongoing status of the replication.
