Under some circumstances, the agent software has already been installed in the cluster and you
simply need to create a new startup file specific to the new domain or post office. For example:
Š You have created a new domain and/or post office in a GroupWise resource group where the
agent software is already installed in the
drive :\grpwise
directory for the resource group.
Š
In your GroupWise system, the agent software is already installed to the
c:\grpwise
directory on each node in the cluster.
In these circumstances, follow the instructions in “Setting Up New Instances of the Agents without
Installing the Agent Software” on page 408 instead of completing the tasks listed above.
42.5.1 Installing the Agent Software in a Cluster
To install the MTA and the POA:
1 Map a drive to the shared disk of the domain resource group ( Agent Clustering Worksheet item
2 ) or the post office resource group ( Agent Clustering Worksheet item 5 ).
2
Map a drive to
c:\
on the first node in the cluster where you will set up the agents as Windows
services ( System Clustering Worksheet item 2 ).
3 If you plan to install the agent software to the shared disk of the domain or post office resource
group (under
Agent Clustering Worksheet item 1 ), create the
drive :\grpwise
directory on
the shared disk accessed in Step 1 .
or
If you plan to install the agent software to each node in the cluster, create the
c:\grpwise
directory on the drive accessed in Step 2 .
4 Start the Agent Installation program, following the steps provided in “ Installing the Windows
Agent Software ” in “ Installing GroupWise Agents ” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide .
5 Install the Windows agents, keeping in mind the following cluster-specific details:
Š
Use the Windows Agent Clustering Worksheet that you filled out in “Planning the
Windows Agent Installation” on page 395 to fill in the fields during the agent installation
process.
Š
On the Installation Path page, be sure to browse through the mapped drive to the directory
you created in
Step 3 above. Be sure that Install as Windows Services is selected.
Š On the Domains / Post Offices page, click Add for each domain and post office that the
agents will service. In the Path to Database field, be sure to browse through the drive you
mapped in Step 1 above to the domain directory or the post office directory on the shared
disk.
Š
On the Installation Complete page, do not select Launch GroupWise Agents Now .
6 If you need to install the agent software to
c:\grpwise
on each node in the cluster, repeat
Step 4 and Step 5 , mapping a drive to each node in the cluster.
or
If you installed the agent software to a shared disk and need only to set up the agents as
Windows services on each node, repeat
Step 4 and Step 5 , mapping drives to new nodes as
needed. On the Installation Options page, select only the Install as Windows Services option to
speed up the installation process for each node.
