how to install Progress WhatsUp Gold Premium Failover Manager

• Prepare your environment: Ensure you have an existing WhatsUp Gold Premium deployment and a Windows PC available for the Failover Manager. Verify that the PC meets any hardware and OS requirements described in your license documentation, and ensure network connectivity between the primary WhatsUp Gold server and the proposed failover node.
• Acquire and apply the upgrade license: Obtain the Progress WhatsUp Gold Premium Failover Manager upgrade license key that supports up to 1500 devices. Apply the license through your WhatsUp Gold licensing portal or as instructed in your license package, confirming that the upgrade has been activated on the Failover Manager component.
• Install the Failover Manager: Run the official installer on the designated Windows PC. Choose the Failover Manager option during setup, and follow the prompts to configure the integration with your existing WhatsUp Gold Premium instance. Specify the primary node, the failover node, and any required database or data replication settings if applicable.
• Configure failover policies and connectivity: Set up high-availability policies, health checks, and alert rules. Establish networking paths for data replication and status synchronization between the primary and standby environments. Validate that status, performance metrics, and alerts flow correctly to the Failover Manager console.
• Test and validate the failover process: Perform controlled failover and failback tests to confirm seamless operation. Verify that device monitoring continues uninterrupted, dashboards reflect accurate status, and alerts arrive promptly on the standby system. Document the test results and adjust timing, thresholds, or escalation rules as needed.
• Finalize deployment and monitor ongoing performance: After successful validation, monitor the implementation over the first weeks of operation. Keep an eye on synchronization health, replica latency, and any drift in configuration between primary and failover nodes. Maintain documentation for operators and create a rollback plan in case of unexpected issues.
