A cluster Resource Group should exist before setting up the various resources for AB Suite. To set up a separate Application layer cluster, a specific AB Suite Resource Group with its own IP Address and network name is needed. Alternatively it is possible to assign the resources to the SQL Server cluster Resource Group.

In the AB Suite Runtime environment, files such as the log file and the configuration file are created and updated. You must ensure that such files that change are always available regardless of the active Node. You can achieve this by defining shared disk resources. For example, the DATA folder that contains the log and configuration file must be assigned to a shared disk resource during installation.

You can do this post installation by changing the registry entries for:

HKLM\Software\UNISYS\AB Suite\7.0\SM Runtime

or

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\UNISYS\AB Suite\7.0\SM Runtime

if running 64-bit

The 3 keys to update are DataFolder, PrivateFolder, and PublicFolder.

It is also recommended that the application be deployed to a shared disk resource.
