Task
1. Use the instructions in the ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 Cluster Installation Guide to install on the first node in
your cluster. Be sure that the ePolicy Orchestrator resources are deleted from the Cluster Administrator.
2. On each subsequent node:
a. Run the CFGNAIMS.EXE tool (included with ePolicy Orchestrator 3.6.1) to verify the node is pointing
to the correct ePolicy Orchestrator 3.6.1 cluster database.
b. Go to the HKLM\Software\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator folder and modify the
values of the DBFolder and ServerINI keys so they point to the DB folder path located on the local
drive.
c. Uninstall ePolicy Orchestrator 3.6.1.
NOTE: McAfee recommends that you disconnect the Data drive from each node in order to make
sure that no files are deleted from the Data drive.
d. Install version 4.5 of the software as documented in the ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 Installation Guide
and ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 Cluster Installation Guide.
