Consider the following before you proceed to install the Symantec High Availability Console:
The installation must be run locally. Remote install is not supported.
You can install the Symantec High Availability Console on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 servers only.
You can install the Symantec High Availability Console on a dedicated physical host or a virtual machine or on the vCenter Server itself. If you wish to configure availability for the Console Server itself, you must install the Console on a virtual machine.
The installer uses the logged-on user account context to perform the installation. Verify that the logged-on user has local administrator privileges on the machine where you want to install the server.
As part of the Symantec High Availability Console installation, the installer registers the Symantec High Availability plugin for VMware vCenter Server.
The Symantec High Availability solution supports one Console per vCenter Server.
To reconfigure the vCenter Server with another instance of Symantec High Availability Console, you must first uninstall the existing Console and verify that the plugin is unregistered from the vCenter Server.
