About installing and configuring the IIS application

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
Points to note when installing IIS:
  • Verify that IIS is installed and configured identically on all nodes hosting the service group. Verify that the sites to be monitored are on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg).
  • Import the disk groups and mount the volumes that contain the website data, on the first node.
  • For a new IIS installation, while 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). See the IIS documentation for instructions.
  • For existing web sites, stop the sites and then move the website content to volumes on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg). You must also reconfigure the home directory location for the website in IIS and then restart the website 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.
