Perform the steps described as if you were installing the management system using a
standalone configuration. See "Installing NSM in a Standalone Configuration" on page 21
for more information on installing the management system on the same server.
After you have performed the prerequisite steps in "Prerequisite Steps" on page 24 we
recommend that, before you install the management system with HA enabled, you
perform the following additional steps as described in the following sections:
"Verifying That Shared Partitions Are Mounted Properly" on page 84
"Verifying That All Required System Binaries Are Available" on page 84
"Verifying That Clocks Are Synchronized" on page 84
"Establishing an SSH Trust Relationship" on page 85
If you are using a shared disk, verify that all partitions are mounted properly. You can
verify this by checking the following files that each partition is listed on the appropriate
mount point:
(on Linux)
etc/fstab
(on Solaris)
etc/vfstab
You also need to verify that all mounts are not set to restart automatically.
A shell archive script provided with your installation package verifies that all required
system binaries are available.
To run the verification script:
Navigate to the HA Server utilities subdirectory (
1.
Run the validation shell archive script. You can do so by running the following
2.
command:
./validateBinaries
Before installing the management system with HA enabled, you must verify that the
clocks on the server machines that you are using for the primary and secondary servers
all have the same timestamp. This check is necessary because the failover logic
determines whether to perform a restore from a database replicated remotely based on
the timestamp of the last performed remote database replication.
