Install CA DataMinder CMS on Node 2

After you have installed the CMS on node 1 and set up the resource, proceed with installing the CMS on node 2.

Note: Refer to the Requirements and CA DataMinder Servers chapters in the CA DataMinder Platform Deployment Guide for details on the CMS installation process.

To prepare the installation

  1. Give node 2 control of the clustered server V-CMS. The CA DataMinder infrastructure resource is offline on node 2 while node 1 has control.
  2. Run 'regedit' on node 2 and verify that the following registry settings are there.
    Registry key (for 64-bit machines)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ComputerAssociates\CA DataMinder
      \CurrentVersion\Properties
    
    Registry key (for 32-bit machines)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA DataMinder
      \CurrentVersion\Properties
    

    You have verified that the registry keys have been successfully replicated to the next node.

  3. Right-click the V-CMS server, click Move this service or application to another node, and click MACHINE2.

    The Failover Clustering Management console displays the following in the summary for V-CMS:

    Current Owner: <MACHINE2>
    

Note: The CA DataMinder Infrastructure resource will fail to start on node 2. This is correct behavior as the CA DataMinder Infrastructure has not yet been installed to node 2.

To install the CA DataMinder CMS on node 2

  1. Run the server.msi installation from the command line with the V-CMS machine name as parameter.

    Example:

    msiexec /I <DISTRIBUTION_MEDIA>\server.msi WGNINTERNALMACHINENAME=V-CMS
    

    The InstallShield Wizard opens.

  2. Enter the same data path as for Node1. Accept the defaults and continue the Wizard.

    The Data Location screen opens.

  3. Verify that the installer automatically recognizes the database settings from the replicated registry keys.

    Important: If the database settings are not detected, the registry has not replicated correctly. Do not continue! Verify that the CA DataMinder Infrastructure resource has the correct registry path set in the Registry Replication tab, and restart the resource. Then repeat the CMS installation process for node 2.

  4. Finish the installation accepting the defaults.

    The CMS is installed on the secondary node.

  5. Open the properties of the CA DataMinder Infrastructure resource and set the policies according to your failover strategy.
