B. Installing RMFT in
an Existing RMFT
Environment
If disk failure occurs or if the RMFT Server machine has reached End-of-Life and
needs replacing, you can install RMFT on top of the existing RMFT environment.
Note: Although the same results can be achieved by performing a complete
backup followed by a new installation and restore, such a procedure is less suitable
for production systems that require constant availability.
To install RMFT in an existing RMFT environment, the RMFT environment must
already contain the following elements:
The installation directory
defined during the original installation
The root directory
defined during the original site configuration
The RMFT database
created during the original installation
IMPORTANT: If any of the above elements is either missing or corrupt, the
procedure described below will not work.
Example of scenarios in which RMFT can be installed on top of an existing RMFT
environment are as follows:
a. RMFT cluster setup – The primary machine has reached End-of-Life
and needs to be replaced.
Note: While failover capability can also be achieved without a
primary machine (i.e. by installing an additional secondary machine),
cluster setups that only contain secondary machines will not be
upgradeable.
b. A single RMFT Server machine with two disks – RMFT is installed on disk
X. Due to disk failure, disk Y (the system disk) has been replaced.
c. RMFT DMZ front end setup – Same as b. above.
To install RMFT in an existing environment:
1. Optionally (but recommended), back up RMFT Server.
