About this guideThis guide describes how to install and configure Security Center on a two node (two servers) Windows mirrored cluster on a Windows Server 2008 operating system.

The procedures in this guide can be extended to additional nodes.

This guide is written for those responsible for installing Security Center. It assumes you are familiar with the following concepts and systems:

• Genetec’s Security Center solution and its architecture• Windows system administration• Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering and its deployment

This guide is organized into the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, “Before you install” on page 1. • Chapter 2, “Installing Security Center in a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster” on

page 8. • Chapter 3, “Configuring your Security Center Windows cluster” on page 13.


1Before you install

This section describes what you need to know and do before installing and configuring your clustered Security Center system.

This section includes the following topics:

• "About the Windows Server failover cluster for Security Center" on page 2• "System setup" on page 3• "What can fail over?" on page 4• "Windows Failover Clustering terminology" on page 4• "Planning checklist" on page 6

Before you install | About the Windows Server failover cluster for Security Center

About the Windows Server failover cluster for Security Center

A Windows 2008 Server failover cluster ensures fast application recovery and data protection in case of a system failure. If your active Security Center server fails, the failover server in the cluster will bring Security Center back online.

A virtual IP address is used to accept incoming client connections. The cluster then monitors the active server. If a failure is detected, the cluster replaces the active server with the failover server so that the system remains online. Clients do not know whether the active server or the standby server is managing the system as they are still connected to the same IP address.

Before you install | System setup

System setup

This section describes the setup and configuration of a two node (two servers) failover cluster on a Windows Server 2008 operating system. Your Security Center server and SQL Server 2008 R2 will be protected by the Windows cluster.

Before installing and configuring your clustered Security Center system, make sure you have the following:

• A Windows Server 2008 failover cluster must already be installed and operational.• A Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 instance must already be installed and opera-

tional.• You must have the Security Center installation DVD available.The configuration that we will be using requires three distinct networks:

1 Data network: Used for general network communications. This network should be used for video traffic, access control, DNS queries, time synchronization, remote manage-ment, and Active Directory authentication. Additionally, a floating IP address must be configured on this network for connecting the clustered Security Center services, the non-clustered Security Center services that may be running on standalone servers, and the Security Center Client applications.

2 Cluster network: Used for inter-node communication only. It is recommended to dedi-cate a separate network on a different subnet for the cluster heartbeat. If there are only two nodes in the cluster, using a crossover link between them is recommended.

3 Storage network: External storage is required for successful Windows clustering of a Security Center system. The storage will contain the SQL database files, the Security Center files and (possibly) the video recording files.

NOTE As of Windows 2008, all clustered nodes must be part of the same Active Directory domain and must be capable of resolving each other’s host names via DNS or the host file. It is recommended to deploy multiple redundant domain controllers and DNS servers on the DATA network to ensure the cluster’s uptime in case of domain controller or DNS server failure.



Before you install | What can fail over?

What can fail over?

Security Center server roles supported for failover with Windows ExpressCluster:

• Directory role• Active Directory role• Access Manager role• Report Manager role• Archiver role• Zone Manager role• Intrusion Manager role• Omnicast federation role

Windows Failover Clustering terminology

This guide uses the following terms to describe the components of a Windows Failover Cluster:

Term Description

Public network Also known as the Data network.The network hosting the Security Center server and clients.

Private network Also known as Cluster network. The dedicated link connecting the two clustered servers together.

Active node The clustered server actively managing Security Center.

Passive node The clustered server waiting on standby.

Heartbeat The cluster's health-monitoring mechanism between cluster nodes. This health checking allows nodes to detect failures of other servers.

Resource A hardware or software component in a failover cluster (such as a disk, an IP address, or a network name).



Before you install | Windows Failover Clustering terminology

Minimum server requirementsYour servers should be identical in terms of hardware, operating system, and software. Windows Server 2008 cluster, SQL server and Security Center each have their own set of minimum requirements. This table lists the minimum requirements as a combination of all three:

Component Requirements

CPU and memory Refer to Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster hardware requirements, located at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732035(WS.10).aspx.

Operating system This guide is based on clustering Security Center server in a Windows Server 2008 environment. Windows Server 2003 is also supported for the clustering of Security Center server.

Storage External storage for Security Center server’s configuration files, database files and video archives (if the server is managing an archiver role) is required. Serial attached SCSI, Fibre channel or iSCSI are recommended.

Network cards A minimum of two network cards are required. One for the public (data) network and one for the private (cluster) network. A third network card may be required for connection to the external storage.

SQL Server While SQL Express is bundled with the Security Center installation disk, it is not supported for clustering. Instead, SQL Standard or Enterprise (2005 or 2008) must be used.

Database management tools SQL Management Studio will be needed for database management. See http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22985.

3Configuring your Security Center Windows cluster

This section explains how to configure Security Center once the cluster software, Security Center Server, and SQL Server have been installed.


• "Move the server’s configuration files and license file" on page 14• "Prepare the script for access control" on page 15



Configuring your Security Center Windows cluster | Move the server’s configuration files and license file

Move the server’s configuration files and license file

The Genetec Server’s configuration files must be moved to the shared external storage, and the server’s license file must be moved to an alternative folder path.

1 On both servers, stop the Genetec Server service and move the license file (license.gconfig) from C:\Program Files\Genetec Security Center 5.1\ConfigurationFiles to the Security Center root folder (C:\Program Files\Genetec Security Center 5.1).

2 Using Notepad, create a file called ConfigurationPath.gconfig in the root folder to indi-cate the location (on your mirrored disk) of the configuration files.This file will contain four lines. It will point to your mirrored data drive as the location of your configuration files and your local root folder as the location of your license file. You can use the following as the contents of your ConfigurationPath.gconfig file.

NOTE “N:\” represents the drive letter to the server’s external storage medium.

3 On the active server node, move the configuration files from their default path to the new configuration folder on your mirrored data partition.

4 Repeat the Step 1 and Step 2 on your failover server node.5 Start the Genetec Server service on the active server node.



Configuring your Security Center Windows cluster | Prepare the script for access control

Prepare the script for access control

If the Access Manager role (for access control) is running on the clustered servers, a special script must be prepared for it to run properly within the clustered environment.

1 Using Notepad create a new file called script.bat.2 Paste the following into script.bat:

IF EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center 5.1\VertXFileCache" rmdir /S /Q "C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center 5.1\VertXFileCache"IF EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center 5.1\VertXTempFiles" rmdir /S /Q "C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center 5.1\VertXTempFiles"PAUSE

CAUTION The code above represents the default installation path on a 64 bit server. If your installation path is different or, if you are using a 32-bit server you will need to edit the path indicated in the script.

3 Save the file script.bat in the default Security Center installation folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center 5.1\ or, C:\Program Files\Genetec Security Center 5.1\)
