Each Double-Take Availability server must meet minimum requirements. Verify that each server meets the requirements for the function of that machine. Additionally, the machine where you will be running the console must also meet some basic requirements.
Operating system—Make sure your servers meet the operating system, kernel, and file system requirements.

The kernel version must match the expected kernel for the specified release version. For example, if /etc/redhat-release declares the system to be a Redhat 5.5 system, the kernel that is installed must match that.
The Standard Double-Take Availability license protects one virtual machine. The Virtual Guest 5-pack license can protect up to five virtual machines. The Premium license can protect an unlimited number of virtual machines.
The Replication Console can be run on any of the following operating systems.
