Now that we have discussed the different methods to connect the admin interfaces to ArcGIS Server, let's cover some administrative tasks and scenarios, and how we can tackle them.
ArcGIS Server machines are the work horses of your server site. The beauty of ArcGIS Server is that it is fully scalable, meaning that, if in the future you need to add more processing power to your site, you can simply add another ArcGIS Server machine to help distribute the workload. To add a machine to your existing site, it is recommended to provision the new machine to have the exact specs of existing servers in the site. Some of the requirements of a new machine that must be the same as the other ArcGIS Server machines in the site include the following:
- Same operating system
- Same hardware specs (RAM, processor, and more)
- Same version number of ArcGIS Server
- Same licence
- Same ArcGIS Server account (domain is best)
