The NetWare File System iDataAgent, File Archiver for NetWare Agent, and Novell GroupWise iDataAgent are remotely installed from a Novell Client computer to the NetWare Server(s). This installation procedure describes the installation for both of these NetWare Agents.
The NetWare File System iDataAgent must be installed on all of the Physical nodes in the cluster before installing any NetWare Agents/MediaAgents in the cluster group. Installs in the cluster group are always Custom installs. Furthermore, all physical and virtual servers within a cluster must be installed to the same CommServe.
See Install the NetWare Server iDataAgents - Express Install or Install the NetWare Server iDataAgents - Custom Install for instructions on installing the NetWare File System iDataAgent to the physical node.
Once the NetWare File System iDataAgent has been installed onto the physical node, the NetWare File System iDataAgent, File Archiver for NetWare Agent, and Novell GroupWise iDataAgent can be installed in the cluster group using the following procedure. When the virtual server install procedure is performed, an automated configuration of the Galaxy.INI file is performed on all available nodes at the same time.
For an overview of deploying the software components in a clustered environment, see Clustering Support.
