Configuring orchestrator.yml

Search for the following file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config\orchestrator.yml

If you discover the file, follow the steps below.

Back up the file in another location, then remove it. This is necessary because orchestrator.yml is shared between nodes.
Compare this version of orchestrator.yml with the default file, located in the directory below:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\config\orchestrator.yml
```
Look for differences between the two files (for example, in the number of threads).
If you do observe differences between the two files, update the default orchestrator.yml file on each node with the values from the orchestrator.yml file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\ var_Orchestrator\config\

Edit orchestrator.yml on the first node.

On the first node, open the following file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\config\orchestrator.yml

Edit the file to reflect the following configuration, adding any element that is missing.

engine_instance: 1
use_db_time: true 
active_active: true
install_config_file: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\config\orchestrator.yml
aspera_dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera
orchestrator_dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www
run_dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\run
config_dir: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config
archive_dir: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\archive
install_images_dir: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config\images
install_pages_dir: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config\pages
install_css_dir: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config\stylesheets
log_file: C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\run\log\orchestrator.log

Edit orchestrator.yml on the second node.

On the second node, open the following file:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\config\orchestrator.yml

Edit the file to match the configuration for the first node (shown in the previous step), with one exception:
engine_instance should be set to 2.

Edit orchestrator.yml on the shared volume.

On the shared volume, open the following file:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config\orchestrator.yml

Comment out theses entries:

# active_active: false
# engine_instance: 0
# use_db_time: false

Customize HTML branding on each node. (Optional)

Open the following file and edit it to customize branding:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\config\branding.yml

Remove the following file, if it exists:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\var\config\branding.yml

Store the log file in a local folder.

If high concurrency and I/O are an issue for the shared storage data, it is best to store the log file locally, rather than on the shared storage. Store the log file in the following folder:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Aspera\Orchestrator\www\log\orchestrator.log
