› Install Kofax Import Connector in Windows Failover Clustering › Install Message Connector on a cluster › In shared storage mode

In shared storage mode

  1. Log on to the cluster node and install Message Connector locally.
  2. Start Message Connector Configuration utility. In the Storage file field (General tab), type the path and name of the storage file on the shared disk. It is recommended to change the Trace location (Trace settings tab) to the shared disk as well.
  3. Change the Windows user under which Message Connector is running. The user must be a domain user having local administrator rights (same user for all cluster nodes).
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 3 for all nodes.
  5. Continue with Configure clustered service and IP address.

Message Connector Configuration behaves differently when running in a clustered environment:

  • When Message Connector is installed in shared storage mode, changes in Message Connector Configuration must be performed on all nodes.

  • When the Message Connector runs as a clustered service, the Message Connector Configuration application cannot restart the service, because the service is under control of the cluster. Simply save configuration changes, then take the service offline via Failover Cluster Management, and bring it online again.

  • If you configure storage file to a non-default location, this file will not be removed when uninstalling the product.
