Install two Control Services for Control Service Role Switching

The installation of two Control Services for role switching is very similar to the standard installation. There are only two main differences:

• You need to repeat the installation procedure twice, in order to install two Control Services.
• You need to define during the installation procedure whether the Control Service you are installing will function as the active Control Service or as the standby Control Service.

To install Control Service for role switching:

1. Double-click the Setup.exe installation file. The Arcserve RHA Installation wizard appears.
2. Click the Install option. The Install Components page appears.
3. Click the Install Control Service option. The Choose Setup Language dialog appears.
4. Select from the drop-down list the Installation wizard language you prefer, and click OK.

   A progress bar appears. Once the initial process is completed, the Welcome page appears.

5. Click Next. The License Agreement page appears.
6. Select the I accept check box, and click Next. The Customer Information page appears.
7. Verify that the details in the fields are correct, or change them accordingly. Then, click Next. The Destination Folder page appears.
8. Choose the Control Service installation location by using the Change button, or leave it at the default location. Then, click Next.

   Note: The default installation directory (INSTALLDIR) is: \Program Files\CA\ArcserveRHA\component_name. All executables, DLLs and configuration files are located within the INSTALLDIR.

   The SSL Configuration page appears.

9. The SSL Configuration page allows you to use SSL certificate to secure communication with the Control Service.
   • To use the SSL Configuration option, refer to Installation a Control Service for a Standard Operation.
   • To use SSL self-signed certificate, refer to Installing SSL Self-Signed Certificate.
10. After you selected the communication configuration, Click Next. The Service Logon Information page appears.

    Select and enter the required information. You can either use Local System Account privileges or provide a user name and a password in the form of Domain/Username.

    Note: Running the Control Service in a Domain Account with administrative rights across several machines allows remote deployment and connection to the Engine, without being prompted for authentication on each individual server.

11. Click Next. The Control Service Role page appears.

    To install the Control Service for role switching, select the Allow the Control Service check box. Then, define whether the currently installed Control Service will assume the role of the Active or Standby Control Service.

12. Click Next. The Ready to Install the Program page appears.

    Note: Click the Back button to return to the previous pages and change your configuration.

13. Click the Install button to install the Arcserve RHA Control Service. The Installing Arcserve RHA Control Service page appears, showing you the progress of the installation.
14. Once the installation is completed, click Next. The InstallShield Wizard completed page appears.
15. Click Finish to close the wizard. The Control Service is now installed on your selected location.
16. Repeat this installation process for the second (Active or Standby) Control service.
17. Install the Arcserve RHA Engine on the destination servers of both Control Services.
