at in cases of difference, the
actions described below are correct!
Install Insight Software components on the primary system
Install Insight Software 6.1
1.
Shutdown the secondary system. The Insight Software installation process requires a reboot. If the
second cluster system is active, all resources will automatically failover to that system preventing a
clean installation.
2.
[ICG: Step 1] On the primary system, log into Microsoft Windows as the SQL/IS Administrator.
Note:
Log in with the same account used
to install the SQL Server 2008 Enterprise
instance.
3.
[ICG: Step 2] Insert
HP Insight Software DVD #1
into the DVD drive. If the DVD has an AutoRun
feature, the End User License agreement appears. If AutoRun is not enabled on the primary
system, execute
au
torun.exe
from the DVD root directory. Read the End User License
agreement and continue following the installation instructions.
