Hey Gregg,
even after over a year of using CA-RA I'm not used to these, because we never use it in our daily business, so, is this correct?
- NAC = Management Server
- NES = Execution Server
- NAG = Agent
Archer_Berryman do you mind put those "short names" on this wiki page? Infrastructure - CA Release Automation - 6.2 - CA Technologies Documentation , would help, thanks
------------------------
now to your points in your post Gregg:
we encountered the 200 agent limit for the NES and I thought it was a license problem, we never heard of this configuration before, so we exceeded the 200 agent limit on one of the execution servers and yes, as you pointed out, randomely agents appeared offline (surprised though, that this wasn't accepted as a prio 1 ticket haha, but it was solved fast, after a mail to Julia and her great help with it). Anyhow, this limit shouldn't be a problem, because we currently have it like this:
NES (outside DMZ)
- connected to 171 Agents
- connected to 1 NES inside DMZ
NES (inside DMZ)
- connected to 3 Agents
The images I posted is are screenshots, not something put together.
But what I'm wondering now is, that you say, that a NES to NES connection is currently not technically supported? As we followed an instruction document from you guys, where it was pointed out, how to set up such a scenario.
Although, now that I think about it, how does a NAC know if agents are online or offline to show it in the UI? Because the NES inside the DMZ isn't allowed to communicate in the direction to the outside.
Now I'm confused, haha
thanks,
Michael
