4.1.8 Planning the MTA Installation
Follow the instructions in “Planning the NetWare Agent Installation” on page 37 , then return to this
point. After you follow the instructions, you have a filled-out NetWare Agent Worksheet to use
when you install the MTA.

“Setting Up the Internet Agent in a Cluster,” on page 73 .
4.1.9 Planning the Internet Agent Installation
Aside from the cluster-specific issues discussed in the preceding sections, the considerations
involved in planning to install the Internet Agent are the same in a clustering environment as for any
other environment. Review the installation instructions in “
NetWare and Windows: Installing the
Internet Agent Software ” in “ Installing the GroupWise Internet Agent ” in the GroupWise 7
Installation Guide . You might want to print this section and write down the types of planning
information you have provided on worksheets in other sections. You will need this information as
you install the Internet Agent in your cluster.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the Internet Agent software until you are instructed to do so in
Section 4.2, “Setting Up the Internet Agent in a Cluster,” on page 73 .
