Redundant Provisioning Servers

Multiple Provisioning Servers share the workload of a provisioning domain, providing performance, scalability, and high availability. The first Provisioning Server installed is called the primary Provisioning Server. Additional servers are called alternate Provisioning Servers.

As shown in this illustration, you can configure multiple alternate Provisioning Servers for one primary Provisioning Server.

The Provisioning Directory works with a Primary and two or more Alternate Provisioning Server.

In this illustration, three Provisioning Servers are configured to serve the provisioning domain. All servers are configured to use the Provisioning Directory of the primary Provisioning Server installation.
