# Install additional Management Server software

Install additional Management Servers using the SMC Installation Wizard.

## Before you begin

To install the software, you need the SMC installation files.

##

## Steps

1. Start the installation in one of the following ways:
   - From a .zip file: unzip the file and run setup.exe on Windows or setup.sh on Linux.
   - From a DVD: insert the installation DVD and run the setup executable from the DVD:

     Operating System | Path to Executable
     --- | ---
     Windows 64-bit | \Forcepoint_SMC_Installer\Windows-x64\setup.exe
     Linux 32-bit | /Forcepoint_SMC_Installer/Linux/setup.sh
     Linux 64-bit | /Forcepoint_SMC_Installer/Linux-x64/setup.sh

     Note: If the DVD is not automatically mounted in Linux, mount the DVD with the following command: `mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom`
2. Proceed according to instructions in the Installation Wizard until you are prompted to select which components you want to install.
   Note: If you install the SMC in C:\Program Files\Forcepoint\SMC, the installation creates an extra C:\ProgramData\Forcepoint\SMC folder, which duplicates some of the folders in the installation directory and also contains some of the program data.
3. If you also want to install a Log Server and a local Management Client on this computer, leave Typical selected and click Next. Otherwise, select Custom, select the components you want to install and click Next.
4. Select the IP address of the Management Server from the list or type it in.
   Note: This IP address must be the IP address defined for the corresponding Management Server element.
5. Type in the IP address of the Log Server for sending alerts.
6. Select Install as an Additional Management Server for High Availability.
7. Click Next and follow the instructions to start the installation.
   A logon prompt for replication opens.
8. Log on using an unrestricted administrator account.
   The Management Server Selection dialog box opens.
9. Select the correct Management Server from the list and click OK.
   The databases are synchronized.
   Note: If the synchronization fails for some reason (such as a network connection problem), run the sgOnlineReplication script on the additional Management Server when connectivity is restored.
   Tip: You can view replication information in the Info pane when you select the Management Server.
