Install a failover recording server

Important: During the installation process, you are asked to specify a user account under which the Failover Server service should run. This user account must have administrator rights in the system. Note also that if you run workgroups, you should ignore the normal installation guidelines for installing recording servers and use the alternative installation method for workgroups.

Once you have installed the management server using the common installer, download the separate recording server installer from the management server's web page. As part of this installer, specify if you want to install a standard recording server or a failover recording server.

  1. Go to the Management server's download web page and select the Recording Server installer. Save the installer somewhere appropriate and run it from here or run it directly from the web page.
  2. Select the Language you want to use during the installation. Click Continue.
  3. From the selection list, select Failover to install a recording server as a failover recording server.
  4. Specify failover recording server properties. Click Continue.
  5. When installing a failover recording server you must use the particular user account labeled This account. If needed, enter a password and confirm this. Click Continue.
  6. Select Files location for the program file. In Product language, select the language in which to install your system. Click Install.
  7. The software now installs. When done, you see a list of successfully installed components. Click Close.

    When you have installed the failover recording server, you can check its state from the Failover Server service icon.
