Platform servers page
Platform servers manage platform tasks such as provisioning services and displaying control panels. Services, such as Windows Web Hosting, are not installed on these servers; services are installed on hosting servers.
Platform servers include Active Directory (AD) and MS SQL database servers, which are not managed through the control panel, as well as at least one of each of the following:
A provisioning engine (PE) server. Servers that manage the provisioning of services to customers. Service providers can have multiple PE servers to balance loads and provision requests.
A control panel (CP) server. Servers that host the Ensim Unify control panels. Service providers can have multiple CP servers.
On the platform servers page service providers can perform several tasks and view the following information:
Status. The current state of the PE or CP server. States include:
The server is up and enabled.
The server is down and disabled.
Name. The host name of the PE or CP server. Click this name to view server information.
External Name. The Internet address of the server. For CP servers, the address listed here is picked up by the variable $CPIPs. This variable displays CP server IP addresses in new account email templates. If you have multiple CP servers, and you do not want your customers to see the IP addresses of all of them, leave the External Name for those servers blank. At least one CP server must have an entry in the External Name field, however.
Type. The type of server. Types include:
PE (provisioning engine)
CP (control panel)
Find information by searching, sorting, or using page controls.
Click action bar links to perform tasks. Many of these links are enabled only after you select an item from the list. Action bar links include:
overview. View server information and access other tasks.
edit. Change server information and access other tasks.
disable. Disable the server. You can disable a CP or PE server only if there is more than one of them. Disabling platform servers does not affect customers' access to services, since they are provisioned on hosting servers, but it might have other consequences. After you disable the server, you can remove it by clicking remove on the action bar.
enable. Enable the server. This option is available only for servers that have been disabled.
reboot. Restart the server. This option is available only for servers that have been disabled.
