Add Former Server
This topic explains how to add a server that was previously removed from the enterprise (e.g., because the server was offline for an extended period).
(Note: When a user attempts to rejoin a previous subordinate server, if that server is still not disconnected from its previous POA, then the system will produce a red-toast message stating that the server must first leave its existing POA and to restart the process.)
In TTK at the parent of the subordinate server, click the menu and select Add Former Server to [parent server].
Next, in the Choose Archived Server dropdown, select the server that was removed. Enter the username and password to use to connect to the server. Click the arrow button to continue.
Next, enter login information for the point of authority (POA) of the server being added. Click the blue arrow button to continue.
Next, the system does a status check.
During the join process, the subordinate server is initialized with core resources from the parent.
When the initialization of core resources is finished, click the checkmark button.
At the parent, the child is shown joined again to the enterprise.
Likewise at the child server, the server is shown joined to its parent.
