Install CA ARCserve RHA for Microsoft Failover Cluster

On each node in your cluster environment, run the CA ARCserve RHA MSFC plug-in called CAARCserveRHAforMSFC.exe or CAARCserveRHAforMSFC64.exe (64-bit version) to launch the InstallShield wizard, which guides you through the process of installing the CA ARCserve RHA Disk Resource for Microsoft Failover Cluster and the CA ARCserve RHA Disk Cluster Manager MMC Snap-in.

Complete the wizard screens to install the CA ARCserve RHA for Microsoft Failover Cluster. You may choose Complete or Custom Setup.

• Complete -- installs all program components
• Custom -- installs the components you specify

Note: After installation, you should restart the CA ARCserve RHA Engine before you create a disk resource. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is required. If the software does not detect it, you are prompted to install it and then retry installation.

During installation, the required processes are added to the Windows Firewall as exceptions. If you are using another firewall product or have manually configured one, you must remember to add the CA ARCserve RHA for Microsoft Failover Cluster processes as exceptions to ensure proper communication between MMC and the CA ARCserve RHA Engine.

Uninstall CA ARCserve RHA for Microsoft Failover Cluster

Uninstalling CA ARCserve RHA does not delete the CA ARCserve RHA disk resource and resource type that stores your configuration.

To uninstall completely

1. Delete the CA ARCserve RHA disk resource from storage
2. Use the cluster command to delete the resource type while the cluster is running.

   cluster.exe restype "ARCserve Disk" /delete
   

You may also delete the resource type from the Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager.
