 Server machines in the site.

The above components of an ArcGIS Server site can reside on the same physical machine for development and testing purposes, or for supporting small deployments. See Deployment scenarios to learn about recommended architectures for small and large sites.

The configuration store

An ArcGIS Server site has a special folder designated as the configuration store, which contains all the properties of the site and its services. You specify the location for the configuration store when you create the site. In a multiple-machine site, the ArcGIS Server machines access the configuration store through a shared network directory. In a site with multiple ArcGIS Server machines, it's recommended that you keep the configuration store on its own fault-tolerant file server (separate from the ArcGIS Server machines).

Server directories

A server directory represents a physical directory on the network
that is specially designated for an ArcGIS Server site to store and
write certain kinds of information. There are server
directories for storing caches, output, jobs, system files, uploads, input data, KML, and indexes. A set of server directories is created for you at a location you specify when you create the site. In a multiple-machine site, this needs to be a shared network directory.

Processes started by ArcGIS Server

You can expect to see the following operating system processes on any ArcGIS Server machine that is started and participating in a site.

One ArcGISServer.exe process

One ArcSOC.exe process for each running service instance. An exception is geoprocessing services, which have two ArcSOC.exe processes per running instance.

One rmid.exe process

Two javaw.exe processes. These provide basic application server functionality and the ability to host web services.

Two conhost.exe processes and one cmd.exe process. These are supplementary processes started by Windows to provide console services to ArcGIS Server processes.

You can tell that a javaw.exe process is associated with ArcGIS Server by looking at the Command Line column in Windows Task Manager. If the path includes the ArcGIS installation directory, you know it's a process associated with ArcGIS Server. You can derive further information about each process by examining its full command.

The Windows service ArcGIS Server represents ArcGIS Server itself. Stopping this service effectively stops the ArcGIS Server on the machine and shuts down any running GIS service instances. My

 The shape store 

 An ArcGIS Server site has a special folder designated as the configuration shop, which contains all the properties of the site and its service. You specify the location for the configuration store when you make the site. In a multiple - machine site, the ArcGIS Server machines access the configuration storehouse through a shared network directory. In a site with multiple ArcGIS Server machines, it's recommended that you keep the configuration store on its own fault - tolerant file server (separate from the ArcGIS Server machines). 

 Server directories 

 A server directory represents a physical directory on the net 
 that is particularly designated for an ArcGIS Server site to store and 
 spell certain kinds of information. There constitute server 
 directories for storing caches, end product, jobs, system files, uploads, input data, KML, and indexes. A bent of server directories is created for you at a location you intend when you create the web site. In a multiple - car web site, this needs to be a shared network directory. 

 Processes started by ArcGIS Server 

 You can expect to see the following operating arrangement processes on any ArcGIS Server machine that is started and participating in a web site. 

 One ArcGISServer.exe process

 You can state that a javaw.exe process is associated with ArcGIS Server by look at the Command Line column in Windows Task Manager. If the path includes the ArcGIS installation directory, you know it's a process associated with ArcGIS Server. You can deduce further information about each process by examining its full command.
