Installing and configuring the IIS application

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
When you install and configure the IIS application, consider the following:
  • Install and configure IIS identically on all nodes hosting the service group. The sites to be monitored must be on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg).
  • Import the disk group and mount the volumes that contain the web site data, on the first node.
  • For a new IIS installation, while you are creating new web sites, create the site folder on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg) and place the site content in that folder.
  • Change the default home directory path for all the IIS sites to be monitored to a location on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg). For instructions, see the IIS documentation.
  • For existing web sites, stop the sites and then move the web site content to volumes on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg). Reconfigure the home directory location for the web site in IIS and then restart the web site again.
  • Verify the port numbers assigned to IIS sites are not used by other applications or sites.
  • Synchronize the IIS configuration on all nodes hosting the service group.
