3.2.2 Installing and setting up the standby server

To install and set up the standby 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. Copy the common definition information for JP1/Base.

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

   Copy the common definition information that was backed up on the active server to the standby server using a method such as FTP. Use the jbssetcnf command of JP1/Base to set the common definition information in the backup file that was copied from the active server.

   jbssetcnf backup-file-name

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

3. Specify the cluster settings for JP1/Base.

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

4. 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).

5. 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).

6. Execute the cluster setup command (Windows only).

   In Windows, 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

   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.
