Manually install CDP on a passive node in SQL Server cluster

Prerequisite

Install CDP (Full installation) on the active node. Refer to Quick Start for details.

Steps

The active and passive nodes share the same database. So, when you install CDP on a passive node, only the programs files such as DLL and properties file are installed on the passive node.

1. Export the registry branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CipherTrust from the active node.

2. Import this branch to the passive node.

3. Copy the CDP install directory from the active node to the passive node.

   By default, the location of install directory is C:\Program Files(x86)\CipherTrust\CDP_MSSQLServer.

4. Copy the ingicspwrapper.dll file from the active node to the passive node.

   By default, the dll file is stored in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQLServer\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn directory.

5. If any path names differ between the active node and the passive node, make sure they are properly reflected in the registry settings created in step 1.

6. Check the properties file that you copied in step 3. Make sure that the path for the Log_File parameter is valid on the passive machine.
