Manage the Delegation Servers

If your deployment uses multiple Delegation Servers to manage the devices, you can use the tools in the [Server Group] tab to rename a Delegation Server or to move a Delegation Server from one computer to another.

This option is only available to users with the SysConfigWrite access privilege. For details about privileges, refer to Overview of System Roles.

The [Server Group] tab reports communication details, device count, and current status per Delegation Server. This tab also allows you to:

• Rename a Delegation Server

If you deploy multiple Delegation Servers, it is important to rename the servers to reflect your organization. By default, a single Delegation Server is identified as ‘localhost’.

• Move a Delegation Server from one computer to another. Please refer to Move a Delegation Server.

The current status per Delegation Server only indicates how many days have passed since the Core Server communicated with each Delegation Server for the last time by the following colors. Note that it does not show if the Delegation Server currently exists or not.

• Green: one day or less has passed since the last communication time.

• Orange: more than a day, but three days or less have passed since the last communication time.

• Red: more than three days have passed since the last communication time.

 

Move a Delegation Server

1. Before you can move the Delegation Server from one computer to another, shut down the original Delegation Server first.

2. Go to [Server Management] then locate the [Server Group] folder.

3. Select the Delegation Server you want to move, then click (Move).

You cannot move a running Delegation Server. Please shut down the DS before clicking (Move), else you will receive a message indicating that you must shut it down before you can move it.

4. In the [Move] screen, identify the computer where you are moving the Delegation Server to, then click [OK].

5. Install and start the Delegation Server on the new computer.

For details, refer to Install SLNX Servers.

When the RICOH Streamline NX service is started, the service will register with the Core Server, and the configuration/devices that were previously assigned to the Delegation Server that were shut down are downloaded to the new Delegation Server.

 

If you start the original Delegation Server again after you move it to another computer, the original Delegation Server will register as a new Delegation Server.

The following are not transferred to the new Delegation Server after moving to a different computer:

• Scan history

• Scan jobs

• Print jobs

• Device Job Log and Device Access Log

After moving the Delegation Server, it is necessary to uninstall and re-install Streamline NX Embedded Application on devices. After the old Delegation Server is eliminated, it will be removed from any group in [Delegation Server Failover/Load Balancing Groups].
