What is Management Server List?

Management server list is responsible for communication setting on the client machine. It shows the list of server to which clients can connect. The default management server list is generated automatically by Management server.

The client will connect to the management server with a higher priority. Lower the number higher the priority. Management server list can also be used to create secure https communication.

Important Note: -
Before you configure failover using embedded database make sure that you network is capable enough to handle the traffic. For that what I mean is if you have a WAN link and you have Large number of client who would failover to other site, entire traffic would be routed to WAN link which might increase activity over WAN link.
