Install a Backup Manager Service Component
The backup Manager Service provides redundancy and high availability, and may be started manually if
the active service stops.
Unless you enable automatic Manager Service failover, your IaaS deployment requires that only one
Windows machine actively run the Manager Service at a time. Backup machines must have the service
stopped and configured to start manually.
See About Automatic Manager Service Failover.
