Installing a CA User Activity Reporting Module Server

The installation process involves the following steps:

• Complete the CA User Activity Reporting Module server worksheet
• Install the CA User Activity Reporting Module management server

  Note: If using SAN storage, take precautions to avoid installing on a SAN drive.

• Install one or more CA User Activity Reporting Module collection servers
• (Optional) Install one or more reporting servers

  Note: If you do not install a server dedicated to reporting, you can use the management server for this reporting server role.

• (Optional) Install a restore point server
• Verify the installation
• View self-monitoring events

Important! Configure your storage disks in a RAID array before you begin the CA User Activity Reporting Module installation. Configure the first two disks as RAID 1 and make this array the bootable array. Configure the remaining disks as a single RAID 5 array. Failure to configure the RAID array could result in a loss of data.

As part of the overall security of the CA User Activity Reporting Module server itself, during installation the Grand Unified Boot-loader (GRUB) utility is password-protected.
