Create |
Enables you to create a new site. |
|
Delete |
Enables you to delete an existing secondary site. Note that prior to deleting a site, you must reassign its servers to another site. |
Add/edit a new site
To introduce an extra degree of reliability within the network and its applications, you can organize the servers into sites. To add a new site, click the 
Create button in the toolbar and then type in the site’s name and description. If you manage servers in a cloud, enable Cloud mode for the site.
To edit the attributes of an existing site, double-click on the row of the site you wish to modify.
Redundancy mode
For all of your installation’s secondary sites to remain operational when the main site is unavailable, designate one of them as redundant and let the other sites initiate failover to it. To do this, enable the Redundancy mode option for the secondary site that contains instances of PortaBilling and a stand-by database. The system will check this site’s configuration and define it in the Failover site field.
Enable the Redundancy mode option for other secondary sites and select the previously configured site in the Failover site field.
Apply the new configuration to save the changes.
