3. If your users will be submitting jobs directly to actual destinations, the actual destination and the associated queue and logical destination must be on the same server. 4. Once you have your multi-server system running, if the system that one of your non-namespace servers is installed on shuts down or is restarted, that InfoPrint Manager server will not restart automatically when the system restarts, even if you have that option selected in the Management Console. You must open the Management Console for that server and start it manually. 5. You must set up each of your InfoPrint Manager servers so that all of the other InfoPrint Manager servers can access them using the same IP address. For example, Ipserv1 sometimes uses the IP address 9.99.155.122 and other times uses 9.89.214.162, depending upon the machine that is trying to connect to it. Ipserv2 and Ipserv3 must be able to access Ipserv1 through the same one of those addresses; if Ipserv2 uses 9.99.155.122 to access Ipserv1, Ipserv3 must use 9.99.155.122 as well. 6. If you have more than one network adapter card in the system that InfoPrint Manager runs on, the other InfoPrint Manager systems must be able to access the system through the IP address that corresponds to the first (or primary) network card in the system. Configuration example The recommended way to set up interoperating Windows servers is to create one domain user account and let all of the InfoPrint Manager services use it as their login account. The steps below describes how to set up this type of configuration. Note: It is possible to configure your system so that each InfoPrint Manager service has its own domain user account. If you want set up this alternate configuration, you can follow the same basic instructions. However, in step 4, you would create a domain user for each server. Then, when you assign user rights and set up sharing in subsequent steps, you must make sure you use the same user and password consistently on each system. To have your InfoPrint Manager services share a namespace and a log in account. 1. Install all of your InfoPrint Manager servers. Follow the installation instructions in InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting Started. When you are finished, your servers will be operating independently. 2. Stop all of your InfoPrint Manager servers. On each system that an InfoPrint Manager server runs on, open the InfoPrint Manager Management Console and click File → Stop Server. Note: If you are using the SAP Print Feature with an OMS configuration, you must stop the SAP Service from the Control Panel. Click the Windows Start button and select Settings → Control Panel. Go to SAP Service Properties and select to stop the service. For more details on this and other considerations for SAP systems, see the SAP R/3 Configuration and Printing Guide available on the Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company Web site. 3. Decide which server you want to use as the namespace server. It is highly recommended that you choose your most reliable server to be the namespace server since any disruption of service in the namespace server has an impact on all of the servers in the configuration. 4. Set up the common domain user account that the servers will run under. Windows 2000/2003 134 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures

You must set up each of your InfoPrint Manager servers so that all of the other

Ipserv2 and Ipserv3 must be able to access Ipserv1 through the same one of
those addresses; if Ipserv2 uses 9.99.155.122 to access Ipserv1, Ipserv3 must use
9.99.155.122 as well.

If you have more than one network adapter card in the system that InfoPrint
Manager runs on, the other InfoPrint Manager systems must be able to access
the system through the IP address that corresponds to the first (or primary)
network card in the system.
Configuration example
The recommended way to set up interoperating Windows servers is to create one
domain user account and let all of the InfoPrint Manager services use it as their
login account. The steps below describes how to set up this type of configuration.
Note:
It is possible to configure your system so that each InfoPrint Manager
service has its own domain user account. If you want set up this alternate
configuration, you can follow the same basic instructions. However, in step 4, you
would create a domain user for each server. Then, when you assign user rights and
set up sharing in subsequent steps, you must make sure you use the same user
and password consistently on each system.
To have your InfoPrint Manager services share a namespace and a log in account.
1.
Install all of your InfoPrint Manager servers.
Follow the installation instructions in
InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting
Started
. When you are finished, your servers will be operating independently.
2.
Stop all of your InfoPrint Manager servers.
On each system that an InfoPrint Manager server runs on, open the InfoPrint
Manager Management Console and click
File
Stop Server.
Note:
If you are using the SAP Print Feature with an OMS configuration, you
must stop the SAP Service from the Control Panel. Click the Windows Start
button and select
Settings
Control Panel
. Go to SAP Service Properties and
select to stop the service. For more details on this and other considerations for
SAP systems, see the
SAP R/3 Configuration and Printing Guide
available on the
Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company Web site.
3.
Decide which server you want to use as the namespace server.
It is highly recommended that you choose your most reliable server to be the
namespace server since any disruption of service in the namespace server has
an impact on all of the servers in the configuration.
4.
Set up the common domain user account that the servers will run under.
