4.4.12 Cluster configuration

The management server and database server can be configured in a cluster configuration, which consists of a running server (called the primary server) and a standby server. If an error occurs in the primary server, processing is passed to the standby server via a shared disk. The cluster configuration of a server allows processing to continue even if an error occurs in the primary server. The following figures show single-server and a multi-server cluster configurations.

Single-server configuration

Multi-server configuration

The following describes the prerequisites for a cluster configuration.

• The usable cluster software programs are Microsoft Cluster Service and Windows Failover Cluster Server.

• On the managed computers, specify the logical network name and logical IP address in the connection-destination management server settings. By doing so, the computers do not need to identify the management server they are connected to.

Important note

A site server and network monitor cannot be configured in a cluster configuration.
