42 Appendix A Installing RightFax in a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 Cluster
Installing the RightFax Server
When the software installation is complete, create the RightFax cluster resources (described on
page 43).
Installing RightFax on the two cluster nodes
Before installing RightFax on the two cluster nodes, ensure that a PCL5 printer driver (such as HP
LaserJet 4) is installed on both computers. If not, install the driver by adding a printer in Windows.
When prompted for a printer port, select File. Use the default printer name and do not print a test
page. This step allows RightFax to create a print-to-fax queue during the server installation.
1. On both nodes, ensure that System group has full control of the System drive (the drive that
Windows is installed on) including all subfolders and files.
2. On the primary node, install the RightFax server software to the shared drive according to the
instructions in Chapter 3, ”Installing the RightFax Software”. If prompted to restart the
computer at the end of the installation, select No. Do not install the fax board hardware drivers.
3. After RightFax is installed on the primary node, open the BoardServer configuration program in
Windows Control Panel, and then click OK. This starts the RightFax BoardServer service on the
primary node.
4. Open the Windows Services configuration program, stop all RightFax serveices, and set them all
to manual start.
5. Open the Printers configuration program in Windows Control Panel and turn off sharing for the
HPFAX printer.
6. Shut down the first node and wait for the drive to failover to the second node.
7. On the secondary node, install the RightFax server software to the same shared drive you used
for the first node. If prompted to re-start the computer at the end of the installation, select No. Do
not install the fax board hardware drivers.
8. After RightFax is installed on the secondary node, open the BoardServer configuration program
in Windows Control Panel, and then click OK. This starts the RightFax BoardServer service on
the secondary node.
9. After RightFax is installed on the secondary node, open the Services configuration program in
Windows Control Panel and set all of the RightFax services to manual start.
10. Open the Printers configuration program in Windows Control Panel and turn off sharing for the
HPFAX printer.
11. Re-start the first node and let it take control of the group.
Configuring the shared drive
1. Using a text editor, edit the file SetupInfo.ini located in the \RightFax\Client\Win32 folder.
Change the Server Name value to the name of the cluster.
2. Create a folder on the shared drive called “Spool.” This folder will be used to specify where the
Print Spooler service will place its spool files.
