Warning: This section only applies when clustering the master or protecting data without one of the application integrations.
Do not use this method of installation in case you want to protect supported applications like Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Hyper-V. For these applications, install the client as you would for any regular standalone system (see Install/upgrade on Windows and Linux or AIX).
The Master or Client capability can be installed on servers in a Windows cluster. Before starting the installation, review the following:
- Ensure that all servers meet the software prerequisites that are outlined in Install/upgrade on Windows and Linux or AIX.
- Confirm that a cluster environment is set up and working correctly.
- For Master installations only, ensure that you have all the required license keys. A separate license key is required for each node in the cluster.
Installation for a cluster environment involves performing the following sub-tasks:
- Install the software on each node in the cluster (see Install on a node in a cluster).
- Add the Cofio Hub service (see Add the hub service to a cluster).
- For Master installations only:
- Add licenses for each node (see Add licenses to a clustered master).
- Add an authentication domain for the cluster (Configure authentication for a cluster).
