Installing the WebAccess Agent Software in a Cluster
The WebAccess Agent is the component of your WebAccess installation that accesses post offices
and libraries to retrieve information for WebAccess client users.
1 Map a drive to the WebAccess Agent volume ( WebAccess Clustering Worksheet item 1 ) where
the WebAccess domain is located.
The WebAccess Agent 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 WebAccess Agent volume as the WebAccess Agent
installation location ( WebAccess Clustering Worksheet item 7 ), create the
vol :\system
directory on the WebAccess Agent volume accessed in Step 1 .
or
if you selected
sys:\system
on each node, decide which node you will install the
WebAccess agent to first, then map a drive to its
sys:\system
directory.
3 Start the WebAccess Installation program and install the NetWare WebAccess Agent, following
Step 1 through Step 5 provided in “
Installing the WebAccess Agent ” in “ Installing GroupWise
WebAccess ” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide . Keep in mind the following cluster-
specific details:
Š
In the Components dialog box, select only GroupWise WebAccess Agent .
Do not install the WebAccess Application at this time.
Š
Use items 2 through 12 on the GroupWise WebAccess Installation Worksheet that you
filled out in
“Planning the WebAccess Installation” on page 92 to fill in the fields during
the WebAccess Agent installation process.
Š
In the Network Address dialog box, select Configure GroupWise Agents for Clustering .
Š In the Installation Path dialog box, be sure to browse through the drive you mapped to the
location you chose in
Step 2 above.
Š
In the Gateway Directory dialog box, be sure to browse to the domain directory through
the drive you mapped in
Step 1 above.
Š
In the Start Applications dialog box, deselect Start the GroupWise WebAccess Agent .
Š The WebAccess Installation program creates the
strtweb.ncf
and
stopweb.ncf
files, which include the
load
and
unload
commands for the WebAccess Agent. You use
this information later when you create the load and unload scripts for the WebAccess
Volume Resource object.
4 If you need to install the WebAccess Agent to
sys:\system
on multiple nodes in the cluster,
repeat Step 4 , mapping new drives as needed.
5
Make sure you have completed all the WebAccess Agent tasks described in “ NetWare and
Windows: Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess ” in “ Installing GroupWise WebAccess ” in the
GroupWise 7 Installation Guide , but do not start the WebAccess Agent at this time.
6
Continue with Configuring the WebAccess Agent Volume Resource to Load and Unload the
WebAccess Agent and Its MTA .
