Under some circumstances, the agent software has already been installed 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 on a GroupWise volume where the agent
software is already installed in the
vol :\system
directory of the GroupWise volume.
Š
In your GroupWise system, the agent software is already installed to multiple
sys:\system
directories.
In these circumstances, follow the instructions in “Setting Up New Instances of the Agents without
Installing the Agent Software” on page 57 instead of completing the tasks above.
3.5.1 Installing the Agent Software in a Cluster
To install the MTA and the POA:
1 Map a drive to the GroupWise volume for the domain ( Agent Clustering Worksheet item 2 ) or
the post office ( Agent Clustering Worksheet item 5 ).
The GroupWise volume name will be cluster _ volume . For assistance with mapping a drive to a
cluster-enabled volume, see “Configuring Short Name Resolution” on page 44 .
2 If you selected
vol :\system
on GroupWise volume as the agent installation location (under
Agent Clustering Worksheet item 1 ), create the
vol :\system
directory on the GroupWise
volume accessed in Step 1 .
or
If you selected
sys:\system
on each node, decide which node you will install the agents to
first.
3 Start the Agent Installation program, following the steps provided in “ Installing the NetWare
Agent Software ” in “ Installing GroupWise Agents ” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide .
4 Install the NetWare agents, keeping in mind the following cluster-specific details:
Š
Use the NetWare Agent Clustering Worksheet that you filled out in “Planning the
NetWare Agent Installation” on page 37 to fill in the fields during the agent installation
process.
Š
In the Installation Path dialog box, be sure to browse through the drive you mapped in
Step 1 to the location you chose in Step 2 above. Also select Configure GroupWise Agents
for Clustering .
Š
In the Domains / Post Offices dialog box, 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. In the
HTTP Port field, specify the cluster-unique HTTP port planned for each agent (under
Agent Clustering Worksheet items 4 and 7 ).
Š In the Installation Complete dialog box, do not select Launch GroupWise Agents Now .
You will configure the agents to launch in protected mode later.
