Aside from the cluster-specific issues discussed in the preceding sections, the considerations
involved in planning to install the Messenger agents are the same in a clustering environment as for

22.2.1 Creating Your Messenger System and Installing the
Messenger Agents
The Messenger Installation program walks you through setting up your Messenger system and
installing the Messenger agents. The first time you run the Messenger Installation program, you
create your Messenger system, which includes creating various Messenger objects in eDirectory
and installing the Messenger software on the node where you run the Messenger Installation
program. After that, you run the Messenger Installation program on each node in the Messenger
failover list to install the Messenger software on each node, but you do not create any more objects
in eDirectory.
