Install the Components on a Standalone Server

A standalone configuration consists of one server that hosts the NFA console and the Harvester. Complete the steps in this topic to install all of the CA Network Flow Analysis components on a single Windows server or virtual machine.

Before You Begin: Verify that the installation server meets the following requirements:

• Server is upgrade-ready as described in Prepare the Windows Servers.
• Java Runtime Engine (JRE) 1.6u41 is installed.

Follow these steps to complete the Harvester phase of the installation:

1. Log in to the server as an administrator.
2. Start the Harvester phase of the installation: Double-click the NFHarvesterSetup9.1.2.exe file.

   A check verifies that the installation server has a supported version of the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) installed. If the check fails, an error message opens. You cannot launch the upgrade program until this problem is corrected.

   If the server passes the Java prerequisite check, the program starts and the language selection screen opens.

3. Verify that the appropriate language is selected, then click OK.

   The Welcome screen opens.

   Click Next in the Welcome screen.

   The CA NFA Harvester License Agreement screen opens.

4. Review and accept the license agreement:
   1. Read the license agreement and scroll down.
   2. If you want to continue under the terms of the license agreement, click the option to accept it. This option is activated when you scroll to the bottom.
   3. Click Next.

      Prerequisite tests are run to identify problems on the server. If a a problem is found, an error message opens. A critical problem causes the program to exit. A Pre-requisite Check Warning message or other warning message opens for non-critical problems, which gives you the option to make corrections now or after the installation or upgrade is complete.

5. Review the test results in the Pre-requisite Check Warning message, if it opens:
   1. Correct problems now or wait until the program finishes. For more information about the warnings, see the Troubleshooting section.
   2. Click OK to close the message.
6. Verify or specify the installation directories:
   1. (Optional) Click Choose in the Choose Install Folder screen to change the installation location.

      The default location is C:\CA\NFA. We recommend that you install CA Network Flow Analysis components on a nonsystem drive that you have set up for CA Network Flow Analysis. The NFA console will be installed to the same directory that you choose for the Harvester.

   2. Click Next when the installation path setting is correct.

      The Select a Location for the MySQL Data Directory screen opens after a moment. This screen shows the default installation path for the MySQL data directory.

   3. (Optional) Click Choose to change the MySQL installation location.

      We recommend that you use a drive that has at least 40 GB of available space for the database.

   4. Click Next when the MySQL database path setting is correct.

      The Select a Location for the MySQL Temp Directory screen opens, which shows the default installation path for the MySQL tmp directory.

   5. (Optional) Click Choose to change the tmp directory location.

9. Click Done in the Install Complete screen.

   The Harvester installation program closes.

Follow these steps to complete the NFA console phase of the installation:
