3.2.1 Installing and setting up the active server

To install and set up the active server:

1. Install and set up JP1/Base.

   For details about how to install and set up JP1/Base, see the JP1/Base User's Guide.

2. Specify the cluster settings for JP1/Base.

   Set the logical host for the primary node. For details about the procedure, see the JP1/Base User's Guide.

   Note that you can specify a maximum of 32 bytes for the logical host name in the process forced termination command (jegn_killall.cluster) (applicable to UNIX only). A process cannot be terminated forcibly on a logical host whose name consists of more than 32 bytes.

3. Install JP1/IM - EG for NNMi.

   For details about how to install JP1/IM - EG for NNMi, see 2.2 Installing (in Windows) or 2.3 Installing (in UNIX).

4. Set up an OS environment (Windows only).

   In Windows, if either the Dr. Watson dialog box or the Microsoft error reporting dialog box is set to be displayed when an error occurs, failover of JP1/IM - EG for NNMi might fail. For this reason, you must suppress display of these dialog boxes. For details about the suppression method, see 2.4.4(2) Settings for restarting after an abnormal process termination.

   In the event of an error, you might need a memory dump and a crash dump in order to determine the cause of the error. To be prepared for such errors, we recommend that you set your system to output these dump files. For details about how to specify the settings, see 2.4.4(1) Preparations for collecting data in the event of an error (Windows only).

5. Execute the cluster setup command.

   Execute the cluster setup command (jegn_setup_cluster) to set up an operating environment for JP1/IM - EG for NNMi during cluster operation.

   jegn_setup_cluster -h logical-host-name -d shared-folder

   Whenever you execute the jegn_setup_cluster command, the shared disk must be mounted.

   For details about the jegn_setup_cluster command, see jegn_setup_cluster in 7. Commands.

   Note:

   Use the same time zone in a cluster system.

6. Set the definition files.

   Set the following definition files:

   • NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file

   • Mapping definition file

   • JP1/IM - Manager definition files

   For details about the settings for the definition files, see 4. Converting NNMi Incidents into JP1 Events.

7. Copy the common definition information for JP1/Base.

   Copy the common definition information for JP1/Base from the active server to the standby server.

   Execute the jbsgetcnf command of JP1/Base to back up the common definition information located on the active server.

   jbsgetcnf -h logical-host-name > backup-file-name

   For details about the jbsgetcnf command, see the JP1/Base User's Guide.

8. Execute the setup command.

   Execute the setup command (jegn_setup) to set up an operating environment for JP1/IM - EG for NNMi on the logical host.

   For details about execution of the setup command, see 2.4.1 Executing the setup command. For details about the jegn_setup command, see jegn_setup in 7. Commands.

9. Register the services into the cluster software.

   Register JP1/IM - EG for NNMi and JP1/Base on the logical host into the cluster software and then set them to be started and terminated by the cluster software. For details, see 3.3 Registering into the cluster software.
