Can we combine base deployment for multimachine + image server roles in a single config json file

AYUSHYADAV — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 07:41:44 GMT

Hello,

I am deploying the 'BaseDeployment-MultiMachine.json', in which I have to include the image server roles i.e 'ImageHosting', 'RasterAnalytics'. While going through the ArcGIS Powershell DSC sample configs, I didn't find any sample config file where I can add more than one server role in a single config JSON file. In the BaseDeployment-MultiMachine.json file, there is a key "ServerRole" where we can define the server role like GeneralPurposeServer', 'GeoAnalytics', 'GeoEvent', 'ImageHosting', 'RasterAnalytics' and 'NotebookServer'. Since the ServerRole key takes a single string argument, there is no way to define multiple server roles via the ServerRole key

How should I combine multiple server roles in a single config JSON file?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hey Ayush!

If I am understanding you correctly, the ConfigData.ServerRole attribute does two things: tells the module if it’s a GeoEvent Server install, Mission Server install or Notebook Server install etc and is also used for the post-federation, if ConfigData.Federation block is defined in your json config file. Hence, you won’t be able to combine them into a single json config file. You would need to use separate json config files. Samples can be found here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc/tree/master/SampleConfigs/v3/Gis%20Servers

Let me know if this answers your question.

Best!
