Installing Remedy SSO in the high-availability mode using the Remedy installer silently

Where you are in the Installation process

Step	Task
1	Complete the planning activities
2	Prepare for TrueSight Operations Management installation
3	Install Remedy Single Sign-On — Phase A (You are here)
3	Install Remedy Single Sign-On — Phase B
4	Install TrueSight Presentation Server
5	Install TrueSight Infrastructure Management (If licensed)
6	Install TrueSight App Visibility Manager (If licensed)
7	Install Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition (If licensed)
8	Install TrueSight IT Data Analytics (If licensed)
9	Complete the post-installation activities

The silent (or unattended) installation obtains the required user inputs from the options.txt file. Create the options file before you begin installation. If you plan to configure a PostgreSQL database, specify the PostgreSQL-specific properties too.

To create the silent options file

Specify the following properties in the options.txt file:

To install Remedy SSO using the silent Remedy installer in the high-availability mode

Remedy Single Sign-On high-availability (HA) environment is implemented as a redundant system with session failover. In this model, if a node fails, the single sign-on load is transitioned to the remaining servers with minimal interruption.

Do the following:

Note

You cannot install Remedy SSO in high availability mode with the embedded database type.

Ensure that Remedy SSO is installed successfully on the primary node.
Unzip the Remedy SSO files on an additional node.
Enter the values from the Installation worksheets to run the installation program as described in Install Remedy SSO server in standalone mode. Make sure that you apply the following installation settings on a secondary node:
- The database settings must be same as the settings used by the primary node.
- The database user name and password should the same as on the primary node.
- In the Assign database user field, select the Use Existing User option.
Complete the rest of the installation steps.

Next step in the Installation process

Step 3 Phase B — Now that you have successfully installed Remedy SSO, you must set up the Remedy SSO server.
