Automation Suite on Linux installation guide

Last updated Mar 26, 2026

Converting an existing installation to multi-site setup

You can convert an existing installation into multi-site by taking the following steps:

  1. Convert the standalone Automation Suite cluster into the primary cluster. For details, see Converting a standalone cluster into a primary cluster.
  2. Install secondary Automation Suite cluster. For details, see Disaster Recovery - Installing the secondary cluster.
Note:

Ensure that the certificates are the same on the primary and secondary clusters. This check is not performed or enforced automatically.

Converting a standalone cluster into a primary cluster

To convert an existing Automation Suite cluster into aprimary 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}/installer
    cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/{version}/installer
    
  2. Run the following command on the first server node:
    uipathctl rke2 update-fqdn -i /path/to/cluster_config.json -o output.json --versions version.json
    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:

./install-uipath.sh -i cluster_config.json -o output.json -k --accept-license-agreement
./install-uipath.sh -i cluster_config.json -o output.json -k --accept-license-agreement
