HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Installation and licensing guide (March 2008)

Installing cluster-aware clients
Prerequisites
Before you install a cluster-aware Application Recovery Manager client, the following
prerequisites must be fulfilled:
• A cluster must be installed properly with all of its functionality on all cluster nodes.
For example, you must be able to move groups from one to another node as
many times as needed, with no problems with shared disk(s).
• Each system of the cluster should be up and running properly.
Local installation
The Application Recovery Manager cluster-aware clients must be installed locally,
from the CD-ROM, on each cluster node. The cluster nodes (Application Recovery
Manager cluster clients) are imported to the specified cell during the installation
process. You will need then to import the virtual server name.
The cluster Administrator account is required to perform the installation. Apart from
that, the cluster client setup is the same as for the Windows client setup. The Cluster
Integration component, which is selected by default during the installation, must be
installed in addition to other Application Recovery Manager client components.
See “Installing Windows clients” on page 66 for information on how to locally install
an Application Recovery Manager client system. Note that during the installation,
Application Recovery Manager reports that a cluster was detected.
NOTE:
You can import a cluster-aware client to the Application Recovery Manager cell that is
managed using either the standard Cell Manager or the cluster-aware Cell Manager.
Checking the installation
When the setup procedure has been completed, you can check whether or not the
Application Recovery Manager software has been properly installed. Proceed as
follows:
