Selecting Alternate Repository Locations

You may want to select alternate repository locations to support DRAS load balancing.

Follow these steps to select alternate repository locations:

1. From the Administration tab, click the Repository subtab.

   The Repository object list is displayed in the left pane.

2. Select a Repository.

   The edit Repository object panel is displayed.

3. From the Definition tab, locate the Alternate Location(s) section.

   The Available Locations and Selected Locations lists are displayed.

4. If the Alternate Locations list is empty, click the DRAS Discovery button.

   The Available Locations list is populated with possible alternate repository locations.

   Note: If you just set the primary repository location, the Available Locations list will already be populated.

5. Select one or more names in the Available Locations list.

   Hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking to select more than one location

6. Click the single right arrow to add the selected locations or click the double right arrow to add all the locations to the Role.

   CA OM Web Viewer rotates through each of these different addresses for the same base CA View, CA Dispatch, or CA Bundl repository thereby balancing the users among the different DRAS servers.

7. Click the Update button near the top right of the panel.

   The alternate repositories are selected.

   Note: See DRAS Load Balancing for more information.
