The Security Manager installer detects the presence of Veritas Storage Foundation HA for Windows version 6.0.1 / 6.0.2 /
6.1 / 7.4/ 7.4.2 Veritas InfoScale 7.0 / 7.2 / 7.4/ 7.4.2 and asks you whether you want to install Security Manager in an
HA/DR configuration. If you select this option, the only additional information to specify beyond a regular installation is
the database password. In a non-HA/DR installation, the database password is autogenerated. However, since the database password
must be the same on all servers in the HA/DR configuration, the installer prompts you to specify the password. You must use
this same password on all servers in the HA/DR configuration.
The HA/DR installation installs the Cisco Security Manager agent for VCS, so VCS recognizes a new CSManager resource type
and can control and monitor Security Manager.
The HA/DR installation also configures the Security Manager and related services in Windows for a Startup Type of Manual instead
of Automatic, because the Veritas cluster server instead controls the starting and stopping of Security Manager on each server
in the HA/DR configuration. Otherwise, the Security Manager application would try to start on all servers in the HA/DR configuration
after any server reboot, when Security Manager should run only on one server at any time.
You must install Security Manager on each server in the HA/DR configuration. However, only the primary instance of Security
Manager is used and protected in the HA/DR configuration. Other installations are performed to enable the primary instance
to run on any of the secondary servers in the configuration.
