Install High Availability Option

Installation of Ingres High Availability Option is an intermediatory step during the Ingres installation. In the installation wizard, the Ingres Configuration dialog contains a Cluster Configuration section. The Cluster Configuration section consists of a checkbox for Install Ingres High Availability option and a text box for Ingres Cluster Resource Name. These options are only available on machines that are part of the cluster. They are disabled on machines that are not part of the cluster.

The Ingres High Availability Option setup utility performs the following functions:

• Ensures that Ingres is installed as a service on the cluster node

All administration must be done as a system administrator.
