Optional: Converting Regular Setup to High Availability Setup

HA installation is available only in CLI mode. The hainstall script that is provided in version 8.1.1 can convert an existing regular product setup to HA setup. The script has the same CLI arguments as the -hamode portion of a regular installation.

Note: This script should only be used when you want to enable High Availability and Platform Server is installed with HAMode=No. If you installed Platform Server with HAMode=Yes, you do not need to run this script.

The HA installation makes changes in your $CFROOT environment to support HA mode.

    Procedure
  1. Enter the arguments and run the script.

    ./hainstall [-dshared DirName] [-hprimary HostName] [-hsecondary HostName] [-cfiles c|r|n] [-q]

    The secondary Platform Server is no different than any other Platform Server in an HA cluster, except that its CyberMgr RPC daemon is used if the CyberMgr RPC daemon on the primary Platform Server fails. For more information on the HA parameters, see "Command-Line Parameters" in Installation Parameters.
    Note: The time on all Platform Server servers in an HA cluster should be synchronized.
