CML - Printer settings in case of one CML node failure

This chapter describes how to set printers in case of one CML node failure.

These steps can be used only for enterprise solution - two or more nodes of CML cluster. In case that one node is offline for a longer period of time and you need to sustain the printing functions from the drivers that are pointing to this server, follow the steps described below. The following scenarios are available:

Redirecting printers without YSoft SafeQ client

All print drivers that are set to send jobs to the CML that is currently offline must be reconfigured:


1

Open the Devices and Printers.

3

Configure settings of the port that is selected.images/download/attachments/21955761/028.PNG

 

4

Replace IP address of the offline CML server by the IP address of another active CML node.images/download/attachments/21955761/029.png

 

Redirecting printers with YSoft SafeQ Client

All printers that are set to send all jobs to the CML that are currently offline must be reconfigured

In case that several addresses of CML servers were defined, the print job will be automatically delivered to the next active CML node - in such a case the manual reconfiguration is not required. You can define several IP addresses of CML servers by clicking "All IP addresses" in the "SAFEQ Client - Options" window (see screenshot below). For more details see help of YSoft SafeQ Client.
