Prerequisites
-
A third-party load balancer or Windows NLB (WNLB) must be properly configured for Terminal Failover.
-
Etcd must be enabled.
Enable etcd
-
Log in to the Dispatcher Paragon Web Interface with sufficient rights to administer printers (for example, "admin").
-
Go to System > System settings
-
Set enableEtcd property to enabled and save the configuration.
-
Restart the Dispatcher Paragon Terminal Server service on all Management and/or Site servers.
-
Reinstall Embedded terminals after this change.
When enabled, etcd will be run with Terminal Server.
OKI and Toshiba Embedded Terminals Also Require This Additional Configuration:
-
Set the property forceInternalLdapServerIp (expert view) to the failover/load balancer virtual IP address/hostname.
-
Install or reinstall Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal for each OKI and Toshiba device.
When most of the cluster members are offline for about 24 hours, there is a possibility that the user will not be able to enter the Dispatcher Paragon application. If the problem occurs, restart the Terminal Server service on all nodes or wait for an hour.
