Installing Additional CTERA Portal Servers
You create additional CTERA Portal servers in a similar way to the way you created the primary server.
By default, CTERA portal servers are application servers running no other service.
Following initial setup, you can enable or disable the application service through the CTERA Portal web interface.
Note: For document previews to work, you must install at least one document preview server.
