These steps guide you through the process of installing the databases on the Database Server computer in a cluster environment. You can run the setup program locally on the Database Server computer or from a remote computer.
NOTE:
You only need to run the setup program on one node in the cluster. The setup program automatically installs the components on all other nodes in the cluster.
If you add a new node to the cluster, repeat these steps on the new node.
To install Database Server components in a cluster environment:
Log on with an Administrator account to the computer where you want to install the databases.
Run the NetIQ Aegis setup program from the root folder of the Workflow Automation installation kit.
NOTE:Ensure the installation kit is located on the local computer where you are running the setup program.
Click Begin Setup.
On the Select Components window of the NetIQ Aegis Setup wizard, select the following components:
NOTE:If you are upgrading from a previous version, the setup program automatically selects the components to install.
Aegis Database
Resource Management Database
If you want to change the location where the setup program installs Workflow Automation, ensure you select a drive letter that exists on all nodes in the cluster, such as C:\. The setup program does not support installing Workflow Automation on the drive you assigned to the Aegis resource group.
Click Next.
Follow the instructions in the NetIQ Aegis Setup wizard until you finish installing the Aegis and Resource Management databases, and then click Finish.
To verify a successful installation, check the installation log file on each passive node in the cluster. Typically, the log file is in the c:\temp\Aegis folder.
If the installation process failed on a passive node, complete the following steps:
Run the NetIQ Aegis setup program on the node where the installation failed.
Select Install Aegis on a new node in the cluster (existing Aegis installation).
Reporting Center does not support clusters. If you want to install Workflow Automation in a cluster environment, you must install the following Reporting Center components on a separate Reporting server computer:
Reporting Center Configuration Database
Reporting Services Data Extension
Reporting Center Web service
These steps guide you through the process of installing Reporting Center components on a separate Reporting server computer. For more information about Reporting Center components, see the Reporting Guide for Workflow Automation Reporting Center.
To install Reporting Center on a separate Reporting server computer:
Log on with an Administrator account to the computer where you want to install Reporting Center components.
Run the NetIQ Aegis setup program from the root folder of the Workflow Automation installation kit.
NOTE:Ensure the installation kit is located on the local computer where you are running the setup program.
Click Begin Setup.
On the Select Components window of the NetIQ Aegis Setup wizard, select Aegis Reporting.
Click Next.
On the Prerequisites window, under Required Prerequisites, click Reporting Center, and then click Install Prerequisite to start the Reporting Center Setup wizard.
On the Feature Selection window of the Reporting Center Setup wizard, select the following options:
Configuration Database
Reporting Services Data Extension
Web Service
Click Next.
Follow the instructions in the Reporting Center Setup wizard until you finish installing the Reporting Center components, and then click Finish.
Follow the instructions in the NetIQ Aegis Setup wizard, and then click Finish.
These steps guide you through the process of clustering Microsoft Message Queuing on the Workflow Automation Server computer (or the combined Workflow Automation/Web Server computer), which creates an Workflow Automation-specific resource group.
NOTE:A cluster resource group is not the same as a resource group in the Resource Management database. For more information about resource groups in Workflow Automation, see Understanding Resource Groups.
To cluster Microsoft Message Queuing on the Workflow Automation Server computer:
Log on with an Administrator account to the computer where you want to install the Workflow Automation Server components.
Start Failover Cluster Manager.
In the left pane, right-click Services and applications, and then click Configure a Service or Application.
On the High Availability Wizard, click Select Service or Application.
Click Message Queuing, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions in the High Availability Wizard until you finish clustering Microsoft Message Queuing.
These steps guide you through the process of installing components on the Workflow Automation Server computer in a three-tier cluster environment.
NOTE:
You only need to run the setup program on one node in the cluster. The setup program automatically installs the components on all other nodes in the cluster.
If you add a new node to the cluster, repeat these steps on the new node.
The setup program also creates cluster resources. The following table lists the components and their related cluster resources.

If you want to change the location where the setup program installs Workflow Automation, ensure you select a drive letter that exists on all nodes in the cluster, such as C:\. The setup program does not support installing Workflow Automation on the drive you assigned to the Aegis resource group.
Follow the instructions in the NetIQ Aegis Setup wizard until you finish installing the Workflow Automation Server components, and then click Finish.
To verify a successful installation, check the installation log file on each passive node in the cluster. Typically, the log file is in the c:\temp\Aegis folder.
If the installation process failed on a passive node, complete the following steps:
Run the NetIQ Aegis setup program on the node where the installation failed.
Select Install Aegis on a new node in the cluster (existing Aegis installation).
These steps guide you through the process of installing components on the Web Server computer in a three-tier cluster environment.
NOTE:
You only need to run the setup program on one node in the cluster. The setup program automatically installs the components on all other nodes in the cluster.
If you add a new node to the cluster, repeat these steps on the new node.
The setup program also creates cluster resources. The following table lists the components and their related cluster resources.
