Use the following guidelines for installing SFW HA and configuring the cluster on the secondary site.

Note:

Symantec recommends as a best practice to configure SQL Server for disaster recovery before configuring Enterprise Vault for disaster recovery. If you have completed SQL Server DR configuration, the following steps may already be complete.

Ensure that you have set up the components required to run a cluster.

Ensure that when installing SFW HA you install the appropriate disaster recovery options at both the primary and secondary sites, as follows:

Global Cluster Option	This VCS option is required for a disaster recovery configuration.
Volume Replicator	This SFW option is required for Volume Replicator replication.
High Availability Hardware Replication Agents	If you plan to use hardware replication, select the appropriate hardware replication agent.

For more information see the SFW HA Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Configure the cluster with the VCS Cluster Configuration Wizard (VCW). Ensure that the name you assign to the secondary site cluster is different from the name assigned to the primary site cluster.

See Configuring the cluster.

Note:

You do not need to configure the GCO option while configuring the cluster. This is done later using the Disaster Recovery wizard.
