Installing or upgrading Full-Server Failover
Use these instructions to install Full-Server Failover or upgrade an existing Full-Server Failover
installation. If you are using the same installation files as your existing installation, you can modify
or repair the existing installation.
1. Close any open applications.
2. Start the installation program using the appropriate instructions, depending on your media
source.

CD—Load the CD into the local CD-ROM drive. If auto-run is enabled, the installation program
will start automatically. To manually start the program, select Start, Run and specify
<cd_drive>:\autorun.exe .

Web download—Launch the .exe file that you downloaded from the web.
3. When the installation program begins, the Storage Mirroring Setup Launcher appears. This
interface allows you to install and view documentation for various applications from HP. The
listed applications will depend on which products are included on the CD or in the web download.
To install Full-Server Failover, select Storage Mirroring for Windows from the list of products
and then select Install Storage Mirroring for Windows.
4. Depending on your version of Windows and the components you have installed, you may see an
initial screen indicating that you should install Microsoft .NET Framework. If you do not see this
screen, your server already has the appropriate version of Microsoft .NET. The best practice is to
install Microsoft .NET before installing Storage Mirroring. Clicking Install will continue the
installation program and give you the opportunity to install or skip the Microsoft .NET
installation. Clicking Cancel will exit the installation program.
5. Review and accept the HP license agreement to continue with the installation program. Click
Next to continue.
6. If you already have Full-Server Failover installed and you are using the same installation files,
you will be prompted to modify, repair, or remove the the existing installation. Select Modify or
Repair and complete the remaining steps in the installation.
7. Select the type of installation you want to perform.

Client and Server Components—Installs the Full-Server Failover server and client
components

Client Components Only—Installs the Full-Server Failover client components only

Server Components Only—Installs the Full-Server Failover server components only
Select the option appropriate for your machine. You can also specify where the files will be
installed.
Click Next to continue.
8. You will be prompted to enter your activation code information. Your Activation Code is a
24-character, alpha-numeric activation code which applies the appropriate Storage Mirroring
license to your installation. You must have a valid activation code to use Storage Mirroring.
Add-on codes are optional. If you purchased any add-on components, enter each Add-on Code
individually and click Add. The code type and the expiration date, if any, will be displayed. After
you have entered all of your codes, click Next to continue.
9. The next screen will depend on the activation code you entered.

If you have entered a valid activation code, you will be prompted to confirm the code. Click
Next to continue the installation.

If you have entered an invalid activation code, you will be prompted that the code is incorrect
and that the source and target modules will not load. Click Back and reenter your activation
code.
NOTE: The Microsoft .NET installation is via a web download. If your server does not have an
Internet connection, you must manually install Microsoft .NET from the Storage
Mirroring CD or from a copy from the Microsoft web site.
NOTE: If you selected the Client Components Only installation type, the remaining setup
screens are skipped.
