Install the NSM User Interface. See "Installing the User Interface" on page 40. After you
have installed the UI, launch the application and validate that you can connect to the
primary server successfully.
After your have installed your primary and secondary servers, you must add information
about your secondary servers in the UI and configure the HA Cluster. After you have done
this, you must then update this configuration to all the managed devices in your network.
In the event that the primary server fails, the managed devices will reattempt to connect
to the management system using the Secondary Server IP Address.
To add the secondary server:
From the NSM UI, select Server Manager>Server.
1.
In the Device Server area, click the + icon. The Device Server dialog box appears.
2.
In the Name box, enter the name of the Device Server.
3.
In the IP Address box, enter the IP address of the Device Server.
4.
In the Password for GUI Server Connection box, enter the password you specified for
5.
the "super" user account, when you installed the GUI Server.
If you are using a Mapped IP Address, use the General tab, and click in the MIP section.
6.
The New MIP dialog box appears. Enter the mapped IP address and port of the Device
Server in the fields provided. You can also edit the Device Server Manager port and
Device Server ID.
If you wish to configure polling attributes, use the Device Polling tab. Device polling
7.
attributes enable you to configure the intervals with which the Device Server retrieves
statistics from the managed devices in your network. These statistics appear in the
Device Monitor and Realtime Monitor. (Optional)
Click OK to save your settings.
