-
Install TMCM on shared-disk both for node 1 and node 2.
-
Make sure TMCM is on both nodes.
-
Install your prerequisites.
-
Select the shared-disk to install TMCM physical files.
- Choose Feedback option, and then click Next for the Host Address of TMCM.
-
Enter the Cluster virtual name (created in Windows 2008R2 cluster service) as FQDN or use Virtual IP.
-
Set TMCM services to Manual Startup Type.
- Copy files the following files from Control Manager folder to CmBackup folder after the first TMCM cluster node installation completes:
-
Start the installation on Node 2.
-
- Import key for ASP.net
If the first node installs first, followed by the 2nd node, the web.config file will be overwritten by the 2nd cluster node. Furthermore, key to use for the ASP.net will be based on the 2nd node and not the 1st node.- Exporting RSA key first from 2nd cluster node
- Logon to the 2nd node.
- Open the command prompt as “administrator”.
- Run the command below to export RSA key under Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\ directory:
aspnet_regiis.exe –px “NetFrameworkConfigurationKey” “c:\keys.xml” –pri
- Create a copy “c:\keys.xml” to be used for the 1st cluster node.
- Import the RSA key for the 1st node.
- Shutdown the 2nd node, and then start up the 1st node to import the RSA key from 2nd node.
- Open the command prompt as “administrator”.
- Run the commands below to import RSA key under Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\ directory:
