Setting the Machine ID for Scale-Out

Each Runtime server machine that is to be part of a scale-out scenario must first be assigned a unique ID using the Administration Tool:

  1. Right-click the Server node, and select All Tasks > Set Machine ID.

  2. Enter a value in the displayed dialog box. This value must be unique between the current machine and any other machine involved in the scale-out.

  3. Click OK.

    The default number is one when installed.
