Merging Servers with Another System

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

It is possible to merge two Systems unless they are Cloud Systems, or to merge a non-Cloud System to a Cloud System. This is useful, for example, if System A contains several servers and you want to join all of them to System B, or to join remote server(s) to a current System.

! IMPORTANT: Note that this is a directional operation - it is not possible to merge a Cloud System to a non-Cloud Systems, or to merge two Cloud Systems.

To merge Systems

1.Launch Nx Witness Client and connect to any server in system A.

2.Right-click on System, invoke context menu and choose Merge Systems.

3.Enter server URL (any server of System B or remote server). Use the drop-down menu to find Systems in the local network. For a remote server, type http://<ip>:<port>, where:

<ip> – IP address of server (the current computer should be able to connect to this server)

<port> – network port of server (default 7001).

4.Enter Password to System B (or to remote server) and click Find System.

5.Select the system that the others will merge into:

System A – System B will be merged to System A

System B – System A will be merged to System B

6.Click Merge with <System Name>.

Nx Witness creates a database backup automatically before merging Systems. See "Backing up and Restoring Nx Witness Database".
