Sites and Management

Sites

A Parallels Remote Application Server farm can have multiple sites. Each site consists of at least one RAS Publishing Agent, RAS Secure Client Gateway (or multiple gateways), and agents installed on Terminal Servers, VDI hosts, and PCs. At least one server on a site has to be dedicated for hosting the master RAS Publishing Agent and the RAS Secure Client Gateway. Note that a given Terminal Server, VDI host, or PC can be a member of only one site at any given time.

The first default site added to the Parallels Remote Application Server farm is the Licensing Server, where the main Parallels Remote Application Server configuration database is stored. Every additional site on the farm will have a synced copy of the configuration database. When changes are applied to a particular site, the main configuration database is automatically updated to contain the changes.

To manage sites in the Parallels Remote Application Server Console, click the Farm category. The available sites are displayed in the middle pane.

Note: The Farm node is only available to administrators who have full permissions on the farm. For more information about administrators and permissions refer to Administrators: Adding, Managing, and Configuring .
