It is vital that the secondary Device Server remains the standby until after the first
remote replication occurs. Failure to achieve this will result in the secondary Device
Server using its own PKI information rather than that supplied by the primary Device
Server. If this occurs, it will not have the correct private key to enable the SSP
connection.
Install the secondary GUI Server.

Servers.
NOTE: When configuring an extended HA installation, the GUI Servers are
not replicated without a Device Server. Unless you add the Device Server

such as the location of the directories where you want to store data for the GUI Server
and Device Server. We recommend that you define these system parameters before
performing the management system installation.
Table 13 on page 80 describes the system parameters that you need to identify to install
HA with the Device Server and GUI Server on the same server machine.
