Creating the Configuration

The Create / Edit Installation Configuration will be the only option available if this is the first time running the Server Installer. After the first configuration is set, the rest of the options will be available for editing the configuration or uninstalling services.

The configuration steps are:

  1. Adding and defining the servers as Production (default) or Disaster Recovery.
  2. Assigning File Access Manager services to Production and Disaster Recovery servers.
  3. Storing the installation configuration and installation commands file.
  4. Installing in one of two methods:
    • On the current server using the installation GUI.
    • Using the pre-configured command file.

Adding a Server

To create the configuration for a new server:

  1. In the General Configuration window, define all the servers on which the File Access Manager services will be installed and whether the installed server is a Production (Prod) or Disaster Recovery (DR) server. These servers should include DR servers and High Availability duplicate servers, if required. This does not include the Windows file server activity monitors; they are added automatically during the installation process and are not displayed.

    For each server:

    • In the Server FQDN field, enter the server’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
    • In the Server Local Name field, enter the server’s short name (NetBIOS host name).
    • In the Installation Path field, enter the installation path. This becomes the SAILPOINT_HOME environment variable on the installation server. This is the path in which the File Access Manager services will be installed.
    • In the Logs Path field, enter the logs path. This becomes the SAILPOINT_HOME_LOGS environment variable on the installation server. This is the central folder in which all File Access Manager logs will be written.
    • If this server is designated as a disaster recovery server, select the Disaster Recovery checkbox. For more information about Disaster Recovery servers, read the File Access Manager Disaster Recovery guide.

  2. Select Add. The server configuration that you specified copies to the Server List.

    Note

    File Access Manager services use SSL communication.

    Within the Server List, a user can edit an existing server. Only the Server FQDN and the Server Local Name are editable.

  3. Select Next.
