Install the Distribution Server

When you configure CA ControlMinder to work in a disaster recovery or high availability environment, you install the Distribution Servers on separate computers and configure the Distribution Servers to propagate files between them.

To install the Distribution Server

1. Insert the appropriate CA ControlMinder Server Components DVD for your operating system into your optical disc drive.
2. Do either of the following:
   • On Windows:

     If you have autorun enabled, the Product Explorer automatically appears. Do the following:

     1. If the Product Explorer does not appear, navigate to the optical disc drive directory and double-click the ProductExplorerx86.EXE file.
     2. Expand the Components folder in the Product Explorer, select CA ControlMinder Distribution Server, then click Install.

        The InstallAnywhere installation program starts.

   • On UNIX:
     1. Mount the optical disc drive.
     2. Open a terminal window and navigate to the following directory on the optical disc drive:

        /DistServer/Disk1/InstData/NoVM

     3. Run the following command:

        	./install_DistServer.bin -i console
        

     The InstallAnywhere installation program starts.

3. Complete the wizard as required. The following installation inputs are not self-explanatory:

   Message Queue Settings

   Defines the Message Queue server administrator password (Communication Password).

   Limits: Minimum of six (6) characters

   Java Connector Server - Provisioning Directory Information

   Defines the password for the Java Connector Server.

   Note: The Java Connector Server provides CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management with privileged account management capabilities.

   The CA ControlMinder Distribution Server installation is complete.

   Note: You must complete additional steps if you install the Distribution Server as part of a disaster recovery implementation.
