Installing for High Availability
To install multiple servers for a high availability Process Orchestrator environment:
Step 1
Add multiple Process Orchestrator servers. For information about installing each server, see
.
Note
Install these servers on virtual machines backed by networked storage. Using this approach, if a
host fails, the VM can be migrated to a new host using a tool such as vCenter.

Step 2
Optional: Install multiple web servers.
Step 3
Optional: Install a load balancer (see
).
Balancing Client Connection Loads
Because there are a variety of load balancers and you might have your own that you want to use, this
section does not describe how to set up or configure load balancers. Instead, it explains how to load
balance different Cisco Process Orchestrator client connections using the generic load balancer,
Microsoft Network Load Balancing Manager, as an example. Microsoft Network Load Balancing
Manager is a virtual load balancer that is not as feature-rich as what most customers probably use in
production environments, but does demonstrate how Process Orchestrator clients work with a generic
load balancer.
