Prepare a shared disk.

Prepare a shared disk for sharing service performance information when the system is switched from the active server to the standby server.

Before you set up the logical host environment, set up the shared disk so that it can be accessed from both the active server and the standby server.

2

Register host names and IP addresses (if a DNS server is not used).

Register the host names and IP addresses of the following hosts into the hosts files on both the active system and the standby system:

  • Physical hosts

  • Logical hosts

3

Set the time on the server machines.

Set the time on the server machines so that the time on the active and standby systems is synchronized.

4

Prepare JP1/Base.

Install JP1/Base on the physical host on which SLM - Manager is installed and set it up for operations in the cluster system.

To run SLM in a cluster system, you must set up the logical hosts in the active and standby systems and register the Windows services into the cluster software after you have installed SLM.
