Configuring the MED-V Server in Cluster Mode
Applies To: Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization
A newer version of the Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) documentation library is now available. To view the most recent MED-V documentation library, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=167079.
You can configure the MED-V server in cluster mode. In cluster mode, two servers are used and all files identified as mutual to both servers are placed on a file system. The server accesses the files from the file system rather than storing the files locally.
To configure the MED-V server in cluster mode
Install and configure MED-V on one of the servers.
Create a shared network in a central location where all of the servers can access it.
Copy the contents of the <InstallDir>/Servers/ConfigurationServer folder to the shared network.
Install MED-V server on all designated servers.
On the shared network, assign full access to all MED-V server system accounts.
On each server, do the following:
In the <InstallDir>/Servers/ServerConfiguration.xml file, set the value of <StorePath> to the shared network path.
Copy the <InstsallDir>/Servers/KeyPair.xml file from the original server to all MED-V servers.
Restart the MED-V service.
Note
If all servers have the same local settings (such as listening ports, IIS server, management permissions, report database, and so on), the <InstallDir>/Servers/ServerSettings.xml can be shared by all servers as well.
