Configuring Multiple AccuRev Servers

It is easy to configure two or more AccuRev Servers to use the same license manager. You simply need to edit the acserver.cnf file on each AccuRev server to point to the same AccuRev RLM server.

This means, for example, that if you have 100 AccuRev licenses and two AccuRev Servers, each AccuRev Server could have 50 simultaneous users, or 90 and 10, or 25 and 75, or any other combination that adds up to 100.

Tip: The ability to configure multiple AccuRev servers using the same license manager gives you the flexibility to set up an AccuRev test server without the need to acquire additional licenses.

Configuration Example

Here are two sample acserver.cnf files, showing how to configure two AccuRev servers to share the same AccuRev RLM server on a machine named “zappa”.

AccuRev Server #1 (a Windows XP laptop named “volman”):

C:\Program Files\AccuRev\bin>cat acserver.cnf

MASTER_SERVER = volman
PORT = 5050
SITE_SLICE_LOC = C:\Program Files\AccuRev\storage\site_slice
DEPOTS_DEFAULT = C:\Program Files\AccuRev\storage\depots
# log level 2 or 3 is recommended by accurev support team
LOG_LEVEL = 3
REPLICATION_ENABLED = true
LICENSE_MANAGER = reprise
LICENSE_SERVER = zappa
LICENSE_PORT = 2375

AccuRev Server #2 (a Linux box named “kaylan”):

$ cat acserver.cnf

MASTER_SERVER = kaylan
PORT = 4800
SITE_SLICE_LOC = /home/dvanvliet/accurev_61/storage/site_slice
DEPOTS_DEFAULT = /home/dvanvliet/accurev_61/storage/depots
# log level 2 or 3 is recommended by accurev support team
LOG_LEVEL = 2
# if server is started by root, uncomment to run as another user.
# need to 'chmod' all files under SITE_SLICE and DEPOTS_DEFAULT
# when changing users.
#USER = nobody
#GROUP = nobody
LICENSE_MANAGER = reprise
LICENSE_SERVER = zappa
LICENSE_PORT = 2375
