Install Alternate Provisioning Servers

Once you have performed the prerequisite configuration involving the highavailability command, you can install one or more Provisioning Servers.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in as a Local Administrator (for Windows) or root (for Solaris) on each system that will host an alternate Provisioning Server.
  2. Make sure that CA Directory is installed on this system.
  3. Copy custom schema files to the %DXHOME%/config/schema directory if any of the following is true for the primary Provisioning Directory:

    The Provisioning Directory installation checks the %DXHOME%/config/schema directory for extra schema files named etrust_*.dxc, and adds them to the group schema file, impd.dxg. If the custom schema files are not copied locally, the Provisioning Server will not route any custom schema.

  4. Run the Provisioning Server installer from where you unpacked the install package.
  5. Complete the instructions in the installer dialog boxes.

    You can select a check box during installation to configure Provisioning Directory high availability. If you choose this option, you must supply the hostnames of any alternate Provisioning Directories and specify the primary Provisioning Directory.
