# Configuring MED-V Server for Cluster Mode
You can configure the MED-V server in cluster mode. In cluster mode, two servers are used and all files identified as mutual to both servers are placed on a file system. The server accesses the files from the file system rather than storing the files locally.
## <a href="" id="bkmk-howtoconfigurethemedvserverinclustermode"></a>
**To configure the MED-V server in cluster mode**
1. Install and configure MED-V on one of the servers.
2. Create a shared network in a central location where all of the servers can access it.
3. Copy the contents of the *&lt;InstallDir&gt;/Servers/ConfigurationServer* folder to the shared network.
4. Install MED-V server on all designated servers.
5. On the shared network, assign full access to all MED-V server system accounts.
6. On each server, do the following:
1. In the *&lt;InstallDir&gt;/Servers/ServerConfiguration.xml* file, set the value of *&lt;StorePath&gt;* to the shared network path.
2. Copy the *&lt;InstsallDir&gt;/Servers/KeyPair.xml* file from the original server to all MED-V servers.
3. Restart the MED-V service.
**Note**  
If all servers have the same local settings (such as listening ports, IIS server, management permissions, report database, and so on), the *&lt;InstallDir&gt;/Servers/ServerSettings.xml* can be shared by all servers as well.
