4 Configuring Connections to Servers and Applications 27
Configuring Business Recovery and Server Groups
Business recovery provides consistent connections to published applications in
the event of a master browser server disruption. You can define up to three groups
of servers: a primary and two backups. Each group can contain up to five servers.
When you configure business recovery, the client attempts to contact all the
servers within the Primary group simultaneously; the first server to respond acts
as the master browser. If none of the servers responds, the client attempts to
contact all the servers within the Backup 1 group. If there is still no response, the
client attempts to contact all of the servers in the Backup 2 group. When a server
responds, the client queries the server for the address of the server on which to
run the published application. This process is repeated each time the user attempts
to make a connection.
By default, the client uses the TCP/IP+HTTP protocol. You can change the
protocol and specify business recovery server addresses. Whichever protocol you
choose applies to all connections and cannot be configured for individual servers
or groups.
To configure a business recovery server group
1. Do one of the following:
• From the ICA Client Editor Options menu, choose Default Settings.
• Click Default Settings in the ICA Client Editor.
2. On the Making a Connection > Server Location pane, look at the Server
Group > Address List and choose the server group you want to configure.
You can specify separate server groups for each protocol.
3. Click Add to add a server to the selected group.
4. In the Server Address box:
• For TCP/IP: choose or type the name of the server.
• For TCP/IP+HTTP and SSL/TLS+HTTPS: type the name of the
server and type a port number if different from the default 80.
5. Add more servers as necessary. You can have a maximum of five servers in
a group.
6. Click Save.
