If any of the Citrix servers deleted accidentally from Access Management Console you can perform following procedures to rejoin the servers in the existing Farm.
Scenario
I am using following Citrix environment:
- SQL 2005 Database Server Name - CITRIX
- Database Autentication - Windows Integrated Authentication
- Farm Name - MyFarm
- Servers in the Farm - XENAPP1, XENAPP2, XENAPP3
Problem
I have accedentally removed the server XENAPP3 from the server Farm. Now I want to rejoin the server to the existing Farm.
Steps
- Login to the server you want to rejoin into the Farm.
- Open Command Prompt and run the following command:
CHFARM
- Click Yes on the warning message.
- Select Join an existing farm option and then click on Next.
- Since I have only one Default Zone, clicked on Next.
- Select the Database Server Name from the Server drop-down list and then click on Next.
- Based on your database authentication select the authentication. Here I am using Windows Integrated Authentication, so I have selected "With Windows NT authentication using the network login ID".
- Click on Next. Keep the default setting.
- Click on Finish. Keep the default settings.
- Click on Test Data Source to check the connectivity with the Database.
- Click OK twice to close the connectivity test. The connectivity test should show "TESTS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY".
- Enter the credentials to connect to the database.
- I am using IMA Encryption. Select the encrypted key by clicking on the Browse button and then click on Next.
- Select "Use the global farm setting sfor the license server.". Click Next.
- Confirm the name of the Farm and then click on Finish.
- Click on Yes if you get IMA service error warning.
- It will try to start and then stop the IMA service. Click on Yes if you get the following warning.
- On successfully adding the server, you will get the following confirmation message. Click OK.
- Now if you check the server Farm, you will get the deleted server added to the existing Farm.
