Adding Servers to an Existing Director Pool

Adding an additional Director to a pool is much like creating the initial pool. The topology must first be updated and published to reflect the change. Follow the steps described previously to import the existing topology in Topology Builder, and then use the following steps to add an additional pool member:

1. Expand the Directors node.

2. Right-click the Director pool name and select New Server.

3. Enter the fully qualified domain name of the new Director.

4. Select either Use All Configured IP Addresses or Limit Service Usage to Selected IP addresses, and enter the IP addresses to be used by the Lync Server 2013 services.

5. Optionally, select the IPv6 check box if IPv6 is in use on the network.

6. Click OK when complete.

Now simply publish the topology again and proceed with the Director installation using the same steps defined in the “Install Server” section earlier in this chapter. After installation, be sure to add the additional IP address to the pool in DNS so that clients can locate the new Director.
