Installing the Failover Instance

About this task

Once the active instance is installed, you can install the failover instance.

Important: Close Windows Services and Task Manager applications before preforming any installation related activities.

Run the SOTI Connect installer executable (SOTI Connect Installer.exe). The SOTI Connect Setup Wizard is displayed.

Important: Be sure to use the same version of the installer. Failure to do so will result in an unsuccessful installation.
On the SOTI Connect Setup Wizard, select Installation of a failover instance and select Next.
Select Management Service and additional components as needed. This includes the Logging Service (this cannot be installed as a separate component). You can install the File Store Service as a separate component, see Installing FS with MS. Select Next.
Note: With SOTI Connect v2.4.1, you can add a PA during the failover instance installation. To add a PA, you must first update to SOTI Connect v2.4.1 or later.
On the Locate active Management Service instance screen, enter the Network Address or FQDN of the active MS instance.
Enter the Client id, Client secret (configured on the Security Access area of the active MS), Username and Password of an Administrator user. Select Test Connection and select Next.
On the Management Service configuration screen, enter the FQDN of the active MS instance. Select Next.
Choose the root folder for the failover MS installation.
Select Install. The failover instance is installed. Select Finished when complete.

Note: Only one MS can be connected to the SQL database at a time.
