6.2.5 Installing SLM

Do not install SLM on the shared disk.

Install the same version of SLM on the local disks of the active and standby systems.

Install SLM in folders with the same names on drives with the same names in both the active and standby systems.

During installation, specify the same settings in both the active and standby systems.

To use SLM - Manager, JP1/Base is required. You must install JP1/Base on the physical machines on which SLM - Manager is installed in both the active and standby systems. For details about how to install JP1/Base, see the SLM/Base User's Guide.

When the logical host of JP1/Base is set up, the event database might not be created on the local disk, depending on settings, which will result in a setting that information not be inherited.

Set up the logical host of JP1/Base so that the event database is inherited. For details about JP1/Base setup, see the SLM/Base User's Guide.

A JP1/Base environment must be configured on the same logical host as for SLM - Manager and set up to fail over when failover occurs on SLM - Manager. The following figure shows the configuration in which JP1/Base is configured on the same logical host.

If the JP1/Base environment is configured on a different logical host from the one used for SLM - Manager and failover occurs only on the JP1/Base logical host, the JP1/Base functions will no longer be accessible from JP1/Software Distribution Manager. As a result, SLM - Manager's login function and the JP1 event issuance function will become unavailable.
