Once you have federated a server site with your organization, you can manage the server site from the portal.
Manage a server site
You can perform actions to manage a federated server site, such as update the alias, configure a server role, view licenses, and validate the server site.
- Sign in to your ArcGIS Enterprise organization as a member with the administrative privileges to manage server settings.
You must connect to the website through the web adaptor URL (such as https://webadaptorhost.example.com/webadaptorname/home). Do not use the internal URL on port 7443.
- Click Organization at the top of the site and click the Settings tab.
- Click Servers on the left side of the page.
Edit server name
You can provide a user-friendly alias to help identify your federated server site by clicking the Edit button 
next to the server name and entering a new name. Click Save to update the server name.
Note:
This name is used for display purposes only and updating it will not modify the URLs associated with your server site.
Configure server role
To configure a server role on a server site, locate the site in the federated server sites list and open the Configure server role window by doing one of the following:
- Next to Server role, click the current server role or Configure server role if no role is currently assigned.
- Click the More options button
and select Configure server role.
The above options open the Configure server role window. Use the toggle buttons to select the server role or roles you want to configure or remove on your federated server site. You can configure multiple server roles on your server site as long as the site meets the requirements for each role. If requirements are not met, click Requirements missing for more information or review the requirements for the desired server role. Click Save to configure or remove the selected server role or roles.
View licenses
You may view the licensed roles, extensions, and associated expiry dates authorized on a server site. Click the More options button and select View licenses.
Validate server site
You can validate a server site to verify the status of your server. Click the More options button and select Validate server site. You can also validate all federated server sites by clicking the Validate server sites button above the list of servers. A general status message appears in the Status row for the server sites being validated. Hover over the status message to view additional information.
Server roles
You can configure your server site with the following server roles to add functionality to your portal.
Hosting server
You can designate a server site licensed as an ArcGIS GIS Server site to serve as your hosting server. A hosting server allows you to publish hosted layers, add files to the portal's Map Viewer Classic, and perform feature and raster analysis in Map Viewer Classic and ArcGIS Pro. To be configured as your hosting server, the server site must have a relational type of ArcGIS Data Store registered as its managed database.
When a hosting server is configured with your portal, it is automatically used for standard feature analysis in Map Viewer Classic and ArcGIS Pro.
The requirements for configuring a server site as a hosting server are as follows:
- The hosting server must be licensed with ArcGIS GIS Server at the Standard or Advanced edition.
- A relational data store must be configured with the server site.
Note:
Once a hosting server has been set, it cannot be changed through the portal website. To remove the hosting server role, you must update the server role in the Portal Administrator Directory. For instructions, see Update Server in the ArcGIS REST API help.
Raster Analysis server
If you have a server site licensed as an ArcGIS Image Server site, you can designate it to perform your portal's raster analysis. Raster analysis in ArcGIS Enterprise is designed to use distributed processing across machines with ArcGIS Image Server.
The requirements for configuring a server site as a Raster Analysis server are as follows:
- The Raster Analysis server must be licensed for ArcGIS Image Server.
- A hosting server must be configured with the portal.
- A raster store must be configured with the server site.

Image hosting server
If you have a server site licensed as an ArcGIS Image Server site, you can designate it to serve as your portal's image hosting server here. The image hosting server hosts your raster store, all the image services created from imagery layers, and if a Raster Analysis server is configured, all the distributed image services generated by your Raster Analysis server.
The ideal configuration for raster analysis includes at least two ArcGIS Image Server sites—a Raster Analysis server and an image hosting server—in addition to your portal's hosting server. If your organization does not have those resources available, a single ArcGIS Image Server site can be used for both raster analysis and image hosting.
The requirements for configuring a server site as an image hosting server are as follows:
- The image hosting server must be licensed for ArcGIS Image Server.
- A hosting server must be configured with the portal.
- A file share raster store, or a database raster store and a cloud store raster store, must be configured with the server site.
Note:
If you are using a cloud raster store, a file share or database raster store must be registered. In an imagery layer publishing or raster analysis process, mosaic datasets will be created in the file share or database raster store during the processing and the input imagery will be copied to the cloud raster store.
Notebook server
If you have a server site licensed as an ArcGIS Notebook Server site, designate it as the portal's notebook server here. Clicking the server URL takes you to its ArcGIS Notebook Server Manager site in the portal, which was introduced in 10.8.
When an ArcGIS Notebook Server site is configured, a Notebook tab appears on the top ribbon of your portal website. Clicking this tab opens a new notebook in the portal notebook editor.
The requirements for configuring a server site as a notebook server are as follows:
- This must be an ArcGIS Notebook Server site.
- A hosting server must be configured with the portal.
Mission Server
If you have a server licensed with ArcGIS Mission Server, designate it as the portal's mission server here. ArcGIS Mission Server facilitates communication between ArcGIS Mission Manager and ArcGIS Mission Responder.
The requirements for configuring a server site as a mission server are as follows:
- This must be an ArcGIS Mission Server site.
- A hosting server must be configured with the portal.
Workflow Manager Server
If you have a server licensed with ArcGIS Workflow Manager, designate it as the portal's Workflow Manager Server site here. Setting up a Workflow Manager Server site enables access to the Workflow Manager services and the Workflow Manager web app that is integrated with the ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
The requirements for configuring a server site as a Workflow Manager Server site are as follows:
- This must be an ArcGIS Workflow Manager site.
- A hosting server must be configured with the portal.
Knowledge Server
If you have a server site licensed as an ArcGIS Knowledge Server site, designate it as the portal's knowledge server here. Setting up a Knowledge Server site allows your members to use ArcGIS Pro with ArcGIS Enterprise to create knowledge graphs.
The requirements for configuring a server site as a Knowledge Server site are as follows:
- This must be an ArcGIS Knowledge Server site.
- A hosting server must be configured with the portal.
- A graph store must be configured with the server site.
