Registering Existing Server on new ODSEE 11.1.1.7 DSCC

Question

The DSCC from 11.1.1.5 allowed you to register existing servers and gave you the option to add a new host and use a different port. I am running DSCC on one machine and would like to register and monitor all my servers from this one DSCC GUI. It makes it really easy to verify that all my servers are up and running by looking at the list of all my local and remote directory servers. I just installed 11.1.1.7 and went to register an existing server. It only defaults to the local host and port 3779 and you cannot change it or add a new remote host. Does this mean with 11.1.1.7, you can only create and register servers on the local host that DSCC is running? If there is a new way to do it, I could not find it in the documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Multiple DSCC environment is possible.
I did it in this way:
1) Unzip the binaries on both HOST_A and HOST_B
2) Create the DSCC registry on HOST_A
3) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_A and register it on DSCC on HOST_A
4) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_B and register it on DSCC on HOST_A (use the -h option)
5) Start the agent on HOST_A
6) Start the agent on HOST_B
7) Create dscc7.war on HOST_A
8) Deploy DSCC on a WebContainer on HOST_A
9) Create the DSCC registry on HOST_B
10) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_B and register it on DSCC on HOST_B (it will use a different port)
11) Create the DSCC agent on HOST_A and register it on DSCC on HOST_B (use the -h option)
12) Start the new agent on HOST_A
13) Start the new agent on HOST_B
14) Create dscc7.war on HOST_B
15) Deploy DSCC on a WebContainer on HOST_B
My config looks like this:
HOST_A
bash-3.00# /opt/dsee7/bin/dsccreg list-agents
Enter DSCC administrator's password:
