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
-
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
-
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.
- 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.
-
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.
- Type in the IP address of the Log Server for sending alerts.
- Select Install as an Additional Management Server for High Availability.

Next and follow the instructions to start the installation.
