Instance Manager (Enterprise Version Only)

The Instance Manager page is used to keep track of the different servers running on a machine and which ones have FusionReactor installed on them. The page is split into two main sections. At the top of the page is a form letting you add new servers and at the bottom is a list of all knows servers along with the instances on each server.

Adding a Server

To add a new server to the Instance Manager, firstly select the type of server you want to add from the drop-down box and then enter the file path to the root of that server. Clicking the "Add Server" button will cause FusionReactor to attempt to find the server. If it can be found then the server will appear at the bottom of the page along with all instances currently defined within it.

Scanning the System for New Servers

Instead of specifying a single server directly, you can also get FusionReactor to automatically scan the file system for servers. To do this, enter the starting directory for your search and how many folders deep FusionReactor should search, then click the "Scan System" button.

NOTE: Please be aware that asking FusionReactor to search more than 3 or 4 levels deep on a complex file system can take several minutes to complete.

Managing Servers and Instances

Below the server adding forms you will see a list of all servers currently set up. Each server has an icon next to it:
 

Remove Server

If no instances within a server are currently running FusionReactor then you can remove it from the Instance Manager completely.
NOTE
: This option just removes it from FusionReactor. It does NOT remove the server from the machine.

 

Each server also displays a list of instances. Each instance has three icons next to it:

 

Install FusionReactor

This button will let you install FusionReactor onto any instance.

Remove FusionReactor

If FusionReactor has been added to an instance then this button will let you remove it again.

Add to Dashboard

If FusionReactor has been added to an instance then clicking this button will automatically add it to the Enterprise Dashboard so you can easily monitor it.
