DEPLOYMENT OF CONFIGURATION DATA WITHIN A SERVER FARM
First Claim
1. A method for deploying configuration information within a server farm, the method comprising:
- associating (210) a first server with a data storage component;
storing (215) configuration information associated with the first server on the data storage component; and
associating (235) one or more servers with the first server and the data storage component by automatically configuring the one or more servers using the stored configuration information, wherein the first server and the one or more servers form the server farm.

Abstract
Deployment of configuration information within a server farm may be provided. Often one or more servers are connected to increase processing and storage capabilities for providing content to a website and receiving content from the website. Accordingly, coordination must occur between the connected servers in order to accurately manage website content. This coordination may ensure that each of the servers contain identical configuration information in order to prevent operational limitations on any of the servers. By having identical configuration information on each of the servers, any of the servers may complete a required task for managing website content. Automating configuration information installation provides an efficient and accurate process to prevent web content errors due to different configuration information running on one or more servers when website content is accessed.
