Last updated Jun 10, 2025

Converting an existing installation to multi-site setup

If you exited the Automation Suite setup, you can convert that into multi-site by taking the following steps:

  1. Convert the standalone Automation Suite cluster into the primary cluster. For details, see the following section.

  2. Install secondary Automation Suite cluster. For details, see Disaster Recovery - Installing the secondary cluster.

Converting a standalone cluster into a primary cluster

To convert an existing Automation Suite cluster into a primary cluster of the multi-site deployment, take the following steps:

  1. Update cluster_config.json.

  2. Configure the infrastructure on the first server node.

  3. Configure the fabric and services on the first server node.

Updating cluster_config.json

Add or modify the required cluster_config.json parameters on the first server node. For more details, see the following documentation: Advanced installation experience

Note:

It is recommended to keep the FQDN of your existing Automation Suite setup to avoid reconfiguring all your robots.

Configuring the infrastructure on the first server node

  1. Navigate to the installer folder:

    cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/{version}/installercd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/{version}/installer
  2. Run the following command on the first server node:

    ./bin/uipathctl rke2 update-fqdn -i /path/to/cluster_config.json -o output.json --versions version.json./bin/uipathctl rke2 update-fqdn -i /path/to/cluster_config.json -o output.json --versions version.json

    This will update all the other nodes in the cluster, including the remaining server nodes, agent nodes, and specialized agent nodes.

Configuring the fabric and services on the first server node

To configure the fabric and services on the first server node, run the following command:

./bin/uipathctl manifest apply cluster_config.json --versions version.json./bin/uipathctl manifest apply cluster_config.json --versions version.json
