Promoting spoke servers
Promoting a spoke server to be a hub server is usually done only if the current hub server is no
longer operational and will not be brought back into service. (For less severe problems with a hub
server, the backup and restore operations can be used.)
If a spoke server must be promoted, be sure to run the replication task, if possible (see Replication
on page 71) on all other spoke servers, then on the spoke server being promoted, immediately
before the promotion. This will prevent loss of data from the other spoke servers.
(After the promotion of a spoke server to a hub, if the server that was originally the hub becomes
operational again, it will have to register as a spoke server, since a system can have only one
hub server.)
To promote a spoke server to be a hub server:
1. On the spoke server, click the System tab.
