5.4 Redundant NPC Modules

NPC and Primary Agent can be installed redundantly on two different servers in case the Primary Agent, NPC module, or the server itself, should fail.  If the Primary Agent or NPC should fail, the Primary Agent and NPC installed on another server will continue event notification.  This method is applied for the consideration that fatal system failure might occur unnoticed at the time when the only NPC or Primary Agent is unable to function.

Redundant NPC modules can not be installed without  Primary Agents.  Run the RAIDWatch configuration procedure and enable this function by designating another server as where the redundant modules will be installed.  Primary Agent and NPC must then be installed manually on that particular server (either a RAID server or not).  The installation utility does not automatically add these modules to the selected server.
