Installing, upgrading and uninstalling a Cluster
Ensure before installing a Aurea List Manager cluster or upgrading to a clustered Aurea List Manager server, be sure you have software licenses that allow clustering. Contact support.aurea.com if you have questions about your licenses.
Installing a Aurea List Manager Cluster
- Run the Aurea List Manager installer.
- The installer prompts you as to whether the installation is a new installation, an upgrade, or a node installation.
- For the first Aurea List Manager instance, select New Install, then follow the steps here Installing Aurea List Manager on Windows or Basic Installation on Linux depending on your operating system.
- For the second and subsequent installations, select Add Node to Cluster, then follow the steps here Installing Aurea List Manager on Windows or Basic Installation on Linux depending on your operating system.
- The installation proceeds for each node as it does for a single instance of Aurea List Manager.
- You need to provide the same database connection information for each node installation as you did for your initial Aurea List Manager installation.
- Once you have completed installing a node, be sure you configure it. For more information on configuring, see Configuring a Node
Upgrading a Cluster

- Shut down all Aurea List Manager nodes.
- Upgrade the primary Aurea List Manager node (the first Aurea List Manager you installed) first. When prompted by the installer, select Upgrade.
- Repeat the upgrade for each node.
- Once the primary node has been upgraded, you may run Aurea List Manager on that node while upgrading the subsequent nodes.
Moving a node to a different hardware
