Installing Double-Take Move

1. Close any open applications.
2. Start the installation program using the appropriate instructions, depending on your media source.
• CD—Load the Vision Solutions CD into the local CD-ROM drive. If auto-run is enabled, the installation program will start automatically. To manually start the program, select Start, Run and specify <cd_drive>:\autorun.exe.
• Web download—Launch the .exe file that you downloaded from the web.
3. When the installation program begins, the Vision Solutions Autorun appears allowing you to install software and view documentation for various applications from Vision Solutions. The listed applications will depend on which products are included on the CD or in the web download. To install Double-Take Move, select Double-Take Move from the list of products. Under Product Installs, select Double-Take Move.
4. Depending on your version of Windows and the components you have installed, you may see an initial screen indicating that you should install or enable Microsoft .NET Framework. If you do not see this screen, your server already has the appropriate version of Microsoft .NET. You should install or enable Microsoft .NET before installing Double-Take Move. Click Yes to install Microsoft .NET. Click No to continue without installing .NET.
5. When the Double-Take Move installation begins, you will be given the opportunity to check for a more recent version of the software.
• If you do not want to check for a later version, select No and click Next.
• If you want to check for a later version, select Yes and click Next. The installation program will establish an Internet connection from your server to the product web site.
• If later versions are found, they will be listed. Highlight the version you want and either download that version and install it automatically or download that version and exit the installation. (If you exit the installation, you can run the updated installation later directly from the location where you saved it.)
• If no later versions are found, continue with the current installation.
• If an Internet connection cannot be established, continue with the current installation or install a previously downloaded version.
6. Review and accept the license agreement to continue with the installation program. Click Next to continue.

7. Select the type of installation you would like to perform on this machine. Ideally, you should select the Client Components Only option, which installs only the client components. Use this option if your Double-Take Move client is on an independent machine. You will be able to use the client on this machine to install all of your Double-Take Move servers.

   If you will not be using the Double-Take Move client to install your Double-Take Move servers, select the Server Components Only option. You must have a Double-Take Availability activation code for this option.

   Since the Double-Take Move client should not be run from a source server, do not select the Client and Server Components option if you are installing on a source. This option should only be used on a target with a Double-Take Availability activation code.

8. If desired, specify where the files will be installed.

9. Click Next to continue.

   If you selected the Client Components Only installation type, continue with step 16.

    

10. You will be prompted to enter your activation code information. Enter the code and click Add. If you have other codes for this specific server, add those codes as well.
11. When you have added your activation code(s), click Next to continue.

12. Double-Take Move uses system memory to store data in queues. Specify the maximum amount of system memory to be used for the Double-Take Move queues and click Next to continue.

    If you set the system memory queue lower, Double-Take Move will use less system memory, but you will queue to disk sooner which may impact system performance. If you set it higher, Double-Take Move will maximize system performance by not queuing to disk as soon, but the system may have to swap the memory to disk if the system memory is not available. In general, the amount of memory Double-Take Move and other applications on the server are configured to use should be less than the amount of physical memory on the system to prevent low memory conditions.

     

13. When the Double-Take Move system memory queue is exhausted, Double-Take Move will queue to disk. Specify the size and location of the disk queue. By default, the disk space is set to Unlimited which will allow the queue usage to automatically expand whenever the available disk space expands.
14. Click Next to continue.
15. The Double-Take Move security information screen appears next. Review the security information and click Next to continue with the installation.
16. If you are satisfied with the selections you have made and are ready to begin copying the Double-Take Move files, click Install.
17. During the installation, you may be prompted to add an exception to the Windows Firewall for Double-Take Move. Click OK to add the port exception. If you Cancel the port modification, you will have to manually modify your firewall settings for Double-Take Move processing.
18. After the files have completed copying, click Finish to exit the installation program.
