How to Install the VST Sync Connector on a Clustered VS

Use the steps in this topic to install the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector software on a clustered Vocera Voice Server.

To install the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector:

  1. Set up the Vocera Voice Server cluster.

    See the Vocera Voice Server documentation.

  2. Install the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector on the standby node.

    See How to Install the VST Sync Connector on a Non-Clustered VS.

    When the installation is complete, the groups VSTContacts and VSTUsers are not yet created in the Vocera Voice Server.

  3. Install the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector on the active node.

    See How to Install the VST Sync Connector on a Non-Clustered VS.

    Note: The installer stops Tomcat to install the VST Sync Connector on the active node. Voice calls are not interrupted, but the Vocera Voice Server Administration Console, User Console, and Staff Assignment Console are not available until the installation is complete (a few minutes).

When the installation is finished, the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector on the active node makes a connection to the Vocera Secure Texting server. Also, the groups VSTContacts and VSTUsers are created in the Global site of the Vocera Voice Server.
