Create a DSA
To create a new DSA, you tell DXmanager the host, the namespace that the DSA will serve, and the type of DSA you want DXmanager to create.
To create a DSA
- Log in to DXmanager as a user with the Change or Superuser role.
- Ensure that DXmanager is in Edit mode.
- Click the Maps tab and display the Topology map.
- Right-click the host that will hold the new DSA, select Instantiate a new partition to this host, and then select one of the DSA types:
- As a Router DSA
- As a Data DSA
- As a third-party X.500 DSA
- As a third-party LDAP DSA
The Instantiate dialog opens.
- Do the following in the dialog:
- Select the namespace partition that the new DSA will serve, and then click Next.
Note: A namespace cannot be served by both a data DSA and a router DSA, so if it is already served by one of these sorts of DSA, the other option is unavailable.
- Choose the network address for this DSA. If the host has a single address, you can leave this unchanged.
- Click OK when you are done.
- Click Configuration, Deploy to update the hosts with the new configuration.
- Do the following on the host that contains the new DSA:
- Edit the new initialization file (DXHOME/config/servers/dsaname.dxi) to source any customized configuration files. These files can configure logging, schemas, settings, limits, and access controls.
- Create the datastores required for the new DSAs.
- Load or synchronize each DSA with other DSAs that serve the same namespace partition.
Note: You can also create a new DSA by right-clicking on a partition in the Namespace map.
