Clustering: Windows

Check with your system administrator whether you are installing OpenText Application Quality Management on a single node or as a cluster.

If you are installing on cluster nodes, verify which machine to use as the first node to start the installation and the number of machines you should use. This depends on the number of users and availability considerations.

When installing on additional nodes:

  • OpenText Application Quality Management version. You must install the same version of OpenText Application Quality Management on all nodes.

  • Operating System. You must install the same version of the operating system, including all patches, updates, or hot fixes, on all nodes.

  • Site Administration schema. All nodes must point to the Site Administration schema.

  • Database details. Configure all nodes with the same database information.

  • Confidential Data Passphrase. You must use the same Confidential Data Passphrase on all nodes.

  • Repository path. All nodes must point to the repository path that is defined on the first node. It is important that you enter the repository path using the exact same characters on all nodes. For example, you cannot have the path on the first server node defined as c:\alm\repository and on additional nodes defined as \\server1\c$\alm\repository—the \\server1\c$\alm\repository path must appear on every node.

  • Java Installation. It is highly recommended to install the same version of JDK/JRE on each node.
