Deploy the Backbone Configuration to the Hosts

You have used DXmanager to create configuration for a directory that uses three hosts. The configuration is currently stored in a single XML file on the directory management server (the computer on which DXmanager is running).

You now need to deploy the configuration to the hosts. This process sends a copy of the configuration file to each host and creates any required DSAs.

To deploy the backbone configuration to the hosts

1. Find the Configuration button at the top right of the DXmanager window.
2. Click Configuration, Deploy, as follows:

   

   DXmanager sends the configuration file to each host, and each host creates the required DSAs.

3. Right-click the backbone icon, and then select Start all DSAs.

   All of the DSAs in the backbone start. Their icons change to show the green Started symbol.

   You can now update the configuration files.
