- Double-click the Setup.exe installation file. The Arcserve RHA Installation wizard appears.
- Click the Install option. The Install Components page appears.
- Click the Install Arcserve RHA Control Service option. The Choose Setup Language dialog appears.

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

Note: The default installation directory is: \Program Files\CA\Arcserve RHA\component_name. All executables, DLLs and configuration files are located within the INSTALLDIR.
The SSL Configuration page appears.
- The SSL Configuration page allows you to use SSL certificate to secure communication with the Control Service.
If in your IT environment, the software is deployed on a local network and security is not a concern, you can clear the Use SSL Configuration check box. Then, the communication with the Control Service will be over HTTP.
If you want to use SSL configuration, select the Use SSL Configuration check box. In this case, the communication with the Control Service will be over HTTPS. After you select this option, you need to enter a port number in the SSL Port box, and to enter a certificate file in one of the available certificate type boxes.
Notes:
- When selecting the SSL Configuration option, by default the SSL Port number is 443. However, if this port number is in use in your IT environment, use a different port.
- If you selected the SSL Configuration option, when you open the Overview Page, you need to use the hostname of the Control Service machine (instead of its IP Address). Enter the Control Service Host Name and Port No. as follows:
https://host_name:port_no/start_page.aspx
- The .CER and .PEX certificates are Internet security files provided by a third party certificate authorities. These certificates are installed on a Web server, to authenticate the validity of a certain Web site hosted on the server. They are represented by a lock icon near the edge of a browser window when accessing a secure site (beginning with "https://"). After you enter the path and name of a .CER of .PEX certificate in the SSL Configuration page, the Arcserve RHA Control Service - InstallShield Wizard installs the certificate and adds SSL certificate meta-information to the Web server. Such meta-information is maintained by the HTTP API in a metastore, and is used to locate certificates for certificate exchange in HTTPS sessions.
- If at present you do not have an authorized SSL certificate, you can use the Self-signed Certificate. After you select the Self-signed Certificate option button, when you try to access the Overview page from a remote machine, you need to install the certificate. For more information, refer to Installing SSL Self-Signed Certificate.
- 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.
- Click Next. The Control Service Role page appears.
Note: Only if you want to install two Control Services for role switching, select the Allow the Control Service check box and define whether the currently installed Control Service will assume the role of the Active or Standby Control Service.
