Each started server enumerates all saved archive files that are present in the ./archives/regular/ directory and checks whether they are valid. Then all servers cooperates and negotiates the number of the latest global valid archive they would use for the simulation startup.

A special case of server startup is the first time simulation launching which is realized from the pregenerated server archives. One server must have initial archive containing "special object", which can create the whole simulation, other servers have empty archives just for their own startup. As soon as the simulation is created from the "special object", the load-balancing feature ditributes objects to all servers where they can be then archived by the local transparent archivation.

For further instruction about the configuration generation please refer to Chapter 25, Auxiliary Utilities.
