Adding Physical Servers

Important: note that this document provides instructions on how to add physical servers via the control panel. It is just a step in the procedure of adding servers and services to the Parallels H-Sphere cluster. You can read about this in a separate guide.

To add a new physical server to Parallels H-Sphere:

1. In your admin control panel, go to E. Manager -> Servers -> Add P.Server.
2. Click Add Physical Server at the bottom of the page that appears.
3. Enter the name of the physical server, its IP and associated net mask:

   

   Specify Login and Password parameters:

   • For Windows servers, these are login (hsadmin by default) and password chosen when installing the Winbox.
   • For Unix servers, enter login: root and root password for this server.

     Don't enter IP2 and Mask2, they are not implemented for Linux and for Windows.

4. Click Submit.
5. Add server groups (types) of logical servers to be placed on this physical server.
   For example, if you add only web servers and mail servers groups, you won't be able to add any DNS servers to this physical server.
6. Go to E.Manager -> Servers -> P.Servers to see the newly added server in the list of all physical servers in the system.

To finish adding this physical server to Parallels H-Sphere, add to it also logical servers (services that you plan to place on it). Further steps are described in a separate guide on Adding servers and services to Parallels H-Sphere.
