The following preparations must be taken before running the configuration utility.
To prepare to configure the CP server
Ensure that VCS is installed and configured for hosting CP server on a single node VCS cluster, or that SFHA is installed and configured for hosting CP server on an SFHA cluster.
Refer to the appropriate VCS or SFHA installation and configuration guide to configure the VCS or SFHA cluster using the installer.
If the CP server is hosted on an SFHA cluster, configure fencing in enabled mode during the SFHA configuration using either the installer or manually.
Decide if you want to secure the communication between the CP server and SF HA clusters using the Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT).
Symantec recommends setting up security for the CP server and SF HA cluster communications.
For information about configuring security on the CP server:
Choose a name for the CP server.
The CP server name should not contain any special characters.
Choose a port number for the CP server.
Allocate a TCP/IP port for use by the CP server.
The default port number is 14250. Alternatively, the user can specify any other valid port from the following valid port range: 49152-65535.
If CP server is hosted on an SFHA cluster, then set up shared storage for the CP server database.
For information about setting up shared storage for the CP server database:
Choose a valid virtual IP address, network interface, and netmask for the CP server.
