This topic shows you how to install Ipswitch Analytics Agents in a MOVEit High Availability (HA) environment that includes a primary database and a secondary (failover) database. You must install the Ipswitch Analytics Server before proceeding.
In a MOVEit Central High Availability environment, you install two Agents that use the same license, but only one Agent is active at a time.
You can install the Agents on the machine that hosts the MOVEit database, or on any machine that has network connectivity with the MOVEit database.
If your MOVEit Central system is set up for High Availability (HA), you will have a primary server and a secondary (failover) server that activates only if the primary server fails. Below are the two possible configuration options for installing Ipswitch Analytics into a MOVEit Central HA environment. Dotted lines indicate dormant connections.
Single Microsoft SQL Server Database
MOVEit Central primary and secondary servers point to the same Microsoft SQL Server database on a standalone machine. Install one Agent on the MOVEit Central Microsoft SQL Server database machine.
Two Local MySQL Databases
In this scenario, the primary and secondary servers point to their own local MySQL databases. Install Agents on each MOVEit Central server. You can use a single Agent license for both the primary and secondary Agents since only one database will send data to the Agent at a time.
The machine that hosts the MOVEit database must be online and network accessible before you begin an Agent installation. You do not have to stop the MOVEit server to install an Agent. Agent installation will not significantly affect MOVEit DMZ and Central system performance.
First you must install an Agent for the PRIMARY database machine and then install an Agent for the SECONDARY database machine:
