About installing KMS with HA clustering

In a typical NetBackup environment, it is possible that not all the optional packages are installed, licensed or configured. In such scenarios, any services that pertain to these optional products may not be active all the time. These services are hence not monitored by default and do not cause a NetBackup to failover if they fail. If at a future time an optional product is installed, licensed and configured, its services can be manually configured then NetBackup can failover. In this section, we document the manual steps that set up KMS to get cluster monitored.
