Configure Locations

Define the location rules to support changes in geographic location and let the agents connect to appropriate scalability servers. The agents evaluate the rules that you create to determine which scalability server to connect.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Locations, then click Setting Properties in the Tasks portlet.

   The Setting Properties dialog opens.

2. Click Add Row to configure the rules.

   The feature adds a row with the following parameters to the current table structure:

   • Location Name
   • Priority
   • Address Range
   • Scalability Server
   • Subnet Scan
   • Script
3. Configure each parameter, then click OK.

   The locations parameter settings are configured.

Important! The feature does not fully verify Address Range or validate the Server Name, Subnet Scan, and Script values. Be careful when you set these parameters.
