3 Installing the Interplay | Engine for a
Failover Cluster
After you set up and configure the cluster, you need to install the Interplay Engine software on
both nodes. The following topics describe installing the Interplay Engine and other final tasks:
•
Disabling Any Web Servers
• Installing the Interplay | Engine on the First Node
• Installing the Interplay | Engine on the Second Node
• Bringing the Interplay | Engine Online
• Testing the Complete Installation
• Updating a Clustered Installation (Rolling Upgrade)
• Uninstalling the Interplay | Engine on a Clustered System
The tasks in this chapter do not require the domain administrator privileges that are required
when creating the Microsoft cluster (see
“Requirements for Domain User Accounts” on
page 29
).
Disabling Any Web Servers
The Interplay Engine uses an Apache web server that can only be registered as a service if no
other web server (for example, IIS) is serving the port 80 (or 443). Stop and disable or uninstall
any other http services before you start the installation of the server. You must perform this
procedure on both nodes.

No action should be required, because the only web server installed at this point is the IIS and it
should already be disabled in the server image (see “Windows Server Settings Included in
Revision 4 and Later Images” on page 116).
