7.1 Overview of cluster operation (for Windows)
JP1/IM - Manager supports operation in a cluster system. If you employ cluster operation in JP1/IM - Manager, processing can be inherited from the primary node to the secondary node in the event of a server failure, thereby achieving uninterrupted system operations management.
Note that a cluster system is the same as what has been referred to as a node switching system in JP1 manuals.
To run JP1/IM - Manager in a cluster system, the following configuration is used.

This section describes JP1/IM - Manager operation in a cluster system, starting with an overview of cluster systems through an explanation of JP1/IM - Manager functions in a cluster system.
To apply cluster operation to JP1/IM - Manager, you must run both JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base in the same logical host environment.
For details about cluster operation in JP1/Base, see the description of settings for cluster system operation in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
This section focuses on using a cluster system to achieve high availability (HA). This section does not describe use of a cluster system for such purposes as evening out load distribution.
When a JP1/IM - Agent is used in a cluster, the modules that operate in the manager are the same as those that are supported in JP1/IM - Manager. For details about the cluster configuration supported by JP1/IM - Agent operating as agent, see "15.3.7(2) Configuration when JP1/IM - Agent is used in a cluster system" in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
