Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering servers
6.15 Administering servers

assigned to it. A server can have several supervisors assigned.
6.15.1 Adding a server
Configuration hints
When defining servers, supervisors and devices in a domain, a good practice is
to attach the device and supervisor to a server that is local to the host controlling
the device. This guarantees that jobs can be submitted to the printer as soon as
the host controlling the printer is up and running. Unless specified otherwise,
this is the default situation that Xprint V7.0 will create for new devices that are
added to the system.
A good ’rule of thumb’ is that a server should not control more than three super-
visors and a supervisor should not control more than fifteen devices. It is
important to remember this if you are using the Xprint V7.0 default, as you may
need to manually adjust the balance of supervisors and devices.
If a supervisor is moved from one server to another, remember that jobs
submitted to the supervisor’s device(s) will not be automatically redirected to the
new server. So you should only move a supervisor when all the jobs submitted
to its printers have finished printing.
