Install the Failover Manager service

After installing the VMware Smart Assurance products for the Failover solution, use the sm_service install command to create a Failover Manager service. The host system will automatically start the Failover Manager as a process running in the background each time that the system boots.

An example of a sm_service install command used to create a Failover Manager service is:

./sm_service install --force  --unmanaged  --startmode=runonce \
 '--name=ic-failover-manager' \
 '/InCharge/SAM/smarts/bin/sm_server' \
 '--name=INCHARGE-FAILOVER' \
 '--config=failover' \
 '--norestore' \
 '--output'

The VMware Smart Assurance System Administration Guide provides complete information about the sm_service command options.
