5.2.6 Deciding Whether to Run the WebAccess Agent and Its
MTA in Protected Memory
As with the MTA and the POA, you can choose whether to run the WebAccess Agent in protected
memory. For a review of the benefits of protected memory, see
Agents in Protected Memory" on page
MTA and POA installations.
You might think that protected memory is not necessary if you have only one WebAccess Agent for
your GroupWise system because it could never fail over to a node where another WebAccess Agent
was running. However, because the WebAccess Agent in a cluster is installed into its own domain
with its own MTA, this MTA could fail over to a node where another MTA was already running.
Therefore, it is safest to load the WebAccess Agent and its MTA into protected memory. Load each
agent into its own memory space and mark each memory space as restartable.

address space name for each agent.

5.2.8 Planning the WebAccess Installation

Aside from the cluster-specific issues discussed in the preceding sections, the considerations
involved in planning to install WebAccess are the same in a clustering environment as for any other
environment. Review
