MOVEit Automation Failover requires:

  • Two computers with a supported version of Windows Server, each running the same type of database server.
    • For more information, see the current Release Note Operating System details.

      If you are migrating MOVEit Automation to a new server, see Migration upgrade with Failover. This topic provides guidance for migrating MOVEit Automation to another MySQL or MS SQL server.

  • MOVEit Automation. The failover capability is built into all versions of MOVEit Automation; however, it must be enabled by a special license.
  • A license that enables the failover capability. The same license key can be used on both computers.
  • A TCP connection between the two computers that allows access to ports 3472 and 3473. Also, if you use the MySQL database, NetBIOS over TCP must be enabled between the two machines to allow the "Copy Database From" action to occur.

See Failover Installation for how to install failover.
