You can complete a new installation of Ops Center Automator on the management server on an active node in a cluster configuration.

Bring online the cluster management IP address and shared disk. Make sure that the resource group for the cluster installation is moved to the active node.
If you created the cluster environment using another Common Component product, use the following command to take offline and disable failover for the cluster group in which Common Component product services are registered:

Common-Component-installation-directory\ClusterSetup\hcmds64clustersrvstate /soff /r cluster-group-name

where

r - specifies the name of the group in which the Common Component product services are registered. If the group name contains spaces, you must enclose the group name in quotation marks ("). For example, if the group name is Automator cluster, specify "Automator cluster".
Complete a new installation of Ops Center Automator on the active node.

If other Common Component products already exist and are active in the cluster environment, specify the logical host name (the virtual host name allocated to the cluster management IP address) as the IP Address or Host Name of the management server. If there are no other Common Component products in the cluster environment, specify the IP address or the host name of the active node as the IP Address or Host Name of the management server.
Register the licenses for the products you plan to use.
If you already have a Common Component product configured in the cluster, skip to the next step. If Ops Center Automator is the first Common Component product in the cluster, do the following:
1. Add the following information to a blank text file:
```
mode=online
virtualhost=logical-host-name
onlinehost=active-node-host-name
standbyhost=standby-node-host-name
```
  Note: On an active node, you must specify online for mode.
  
  Save the file as cluster.conf in Common-Component-installation-folder\conf.
Use the following command to ensure that the Ops Center Automator service is stopped:
Common-Component-installation-folder\bin\hcmds64srv /stop /server AutomationWebService
Run the setupcluster /exportpath command where the exportpath specifies the absolute or relative path of the folder on a shared disk. For the exportpath, the folder directly under the shared disk (root folder) cannot be specified.
