If the array changes, do I have to re-configure printing?

When you make changes to an array of Tarantella servers, printers are not reconfigured and so print jobs may be wrongly directed. When you make an array change, a warning message displays advising you that you may have re-configure your printers manually. The warning displays when:

Whether you have to re-configure or not, depends on the application server and the change made:

Application server typeNew
array
New
primary
New
secondary
UNIXNoNoYes
Windows 2000/2003NoNoNo
Windows NT 4YesYesNo
Windows NT 3.51YesYesNo
Windows (SCO Merge)YesYesNo

If you add a new secondary Tarantella server, you must install a new printer on your UNIX application servers for the new secondary.

if you create an array or change the primary Tarantella server in an array, you must re-configure the printers on your Windows NT 4, NT 3.51 and SCO Merge application servers so that they 'point to' the new primary server.
