For a fault-tolerant SQL Safe management infrastructure, follow the standard procedure for installing SQL Safe by running the FULL installer on all the cluster nodes you want to host your SQL Safe Management Service, whether active or inactive. For new installations, choose at least the Management Service and Repository Database components. Upgrades automatically choose the correct components for you. To make the repository database clustered, simply specify a clustered SQL Server to host the Repository database.

Before you begin, open the Windows Services application (services.msc) and find the SQL Safe Management Service. Make sure that the Startup Type is set to Manual and that the service status is Stopped in all but the active node. If you are upgrading your installation, there are no more requirements. If you are installing a new deployment, you must also configure the Management Service as a Generic Service Resource. Select the appropriate task below to perform this action.
