Do not check [Force Update] otherwise the management server will re-install the agent. If the agent is pre-installed on the node, the management server will activate the node, and install the selected components. Note that if the agent software is not pre-installed, this action will install the agent.
Page 57 HACMP (as a boot, service or standby adapter) is available on an HACMP node, it can be used for ITO Agent installation. However, communication with the ITO server must be possible via this additional adapter. There is no need to set up IP aliases or modify shell scripts in this case, and all pre-installation tasks can be skipped.
Page 58 Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes Note that the status of the icon representing the node in Node Bank window does not change color immediately when the node in the HACMP cluster goes down: it will change color only after ITO has determined that it cannot contact the control agent on that node.
Page 59 Problems with IP Aliases in AIX OS One very important consequence of setting the IP alias on the interface is that HACMP no longer works correctly. This is true for all events that deal with IP addresses, such as; acquire service address, acquire takeover address, swap adapter, and so on.
Page 60 Communication failure to message receiver: Connection request rejected (dce/rpc).Buffering messages.(OpC30-3) These entries may safely be ignored. Messages are not lost: they are sent to the ITO server after communication is re-established. This usually takes no more than a few seconds. Installing AIX HACMP Agents...

• The installation script checks if the IP address which is used for the ITO installation is tied to the boot, service, or standby interfaces, and issues a warning if this is the case. However, the installation proceeds nonetheless. • If you select automatic start of ITO agents, the ﬁle /etc/inittab is also updated so that the clinit entry remains the last one - as is required by HACMP.

NT nodes, and to restart SMS services if they fail. NT agents installed on every Site Server report SMS information about the entire SMS hierarchy without using any SMS mechanisms. Supported Versions of SMS ITO supports both the English and the Japanese System Management Server (SMS) 1.2 on Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51 and 4.0.
Page 329 How to integrate ITO with SMS The ITO/SMS integration has two parts. The ﬁrst consists of the standard NT application event log template, and the second consists of a speciﬁc SMS application event log template and fourteen threshold monitors. This sections explains how to set up and install these templates and monitors.
Page 330 These servers are also logged into the NT application event log of the Site Server. The Application Event Log template must be on a Site Server— even if the site is distributed. 2. Customize the conditions for the templates.
Page 331 3. Distribute the templates (and the agent as well, if it is not already installed). How SMS messages relate to ITO messages When ITO reports SMS messages in the Message Browser, it assigns a Message Group and Message Object that is appropriate to the message. The tables below show how the SMS messages will be mapped in ITO.

ITO database. Consequently, when a message is generated on a managed node, it must often be converted before it can be sent to the management server and stored in the database. ITO takes care of this conversion. If necessary, automatic character-set conversions take place through ITO managed node processes before a message is sent to the server.
Page 340: The Ascii Character Set
ASCII can be converted to Shift JIS without loss of data and enables you to manage English nodes (running with ASCII as internal character set) with a Japanese management server. Note however, that if you are using ASCII as the character set for internal processing ( in the Node Advanced Options window), you must also specify ASCII as the character set for the monitored logﬁle messages.

ITO is an application that is both memory- and swap-space intensive. Problems may occur simply due to the exhaustion of resources. Communication between the ITO management server processes is based on DCE remote procedure calls, which may cause occasional failures and time-outs of manager/agent communications.

Errors Reported in Logﬁles Error messages are written to two different locations: 1. All errors detected by the ITO server or by agent processes are written to the appropriate log ﬁle. 2. In addition (if possible) an ITO message is generated for display in the Message Browser.
Page 387: Errors Reported Via The Message Browser
Errors Reported via the Message Browser In most cases when an error is written to the opcerror log ﬁles on the management server or on a managed node, ITO tries to generate a message and display it on the Message Browser of any users responsible for monitoring the message group, OpC.

Page 501: Introducing Mc/Serviceguard
Introducing MC/ServiceGuard Multi-Computer/ServiceGuard is a powerful hardware and software solution that can switch control from one ITO management server to another if a management server fails. Critical information is stored on shared disks that are also mirrored. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are also included to guarantee continuous operation if a power failure occurs.
Page 502 Administration of MC/ServiceGuard Introducing MC/ServiceGuard package. If a service fails while a package is running, the package may be halted and restarted on an Adoptive Node. MC/Service Guard Daemon A daemon that monitors the state of the SG cluster, all nodes in the cluster, all network resources, and all services.
Page 503: How Mc/Serviceguard Works
How MC/ServiceGuard Works The following examples illustrate scenarios in which MC/ServiceGuard is used to switch control of a package between different cluster servers: Example 1: MC/ServiceGuard Package Switchover The SG cluster shown in Figure B-1 represents a typical scenario: Node 1 runs the application packages A and B Node 2 is runs the application package C Node 3 is runs the application packages D, E, and F The nodes are connected by two redundant LANs connected by way of...
Page 504 Administration of MC/ServiceGuard How MC/ServiceGuard Works Figure B-1 MC/ServiceGuard Package Switchover: Before the Switch Bridge Package A Root 1 Package B Node 1 Package A Disk Package A Mirror Assume that node 1 fails. Node 2 is an adoptive node for Package A, but for Package B no adoptive node is speciﬁed;...
Page 505: Example 2: Mc/Serviceguard Local Network Switching
Figure B-2 MC/ServiceGuard Package Switchover: After the Switch Bridge Node 1 Package A Disk Package A Mirror Example 2: MC/ServiceGuard Local Network Switching The example below shows two SG nodes connected by one virtual LAN. LANs 0 and 1 are connected by a bridge and act as one subnet. Node 1 and node 2 communicate by way of LAN 0.
Page 506: Mc/Serviceguard Redundant Data And Control Subnets
Administration of MC/ServiceGuard How MC/ServiceGuard Works Assume that the LAN 0 network interface card on node 2 fails: The standby LAN interface, LAN 1, takes on the identity of LAN 0 on node 2. The subnet and IP addresses are switched to the hardware path associated with LAN 1.
Page 507 Figure B-5 MC/ServiceGuard Redundant Data and Heartbeat Subnets NODE 1 Package A Dedicated Heartbeat LAN Primary LAN: Heartbeat/Data Bridge Standby LAN: Heartbeat/Data The heartbeat interval is set in the SG cluster conﬁguration ﬁle. Heartbeat time-out is the length of time that the SG cluster will wait for a node’s heartbeat before performing a transfer of package.
Page 508: Mc/Serviceguard And Ip Addresses
Administration of MC/ServiceGuard MC/ServiceGuard and IP addresses MC/ServiceGuard and IP addresses One of the many useful features of MC/ServiceGuard is the ability to assign multiple IP addresses to a single LAN interface card. Each primary network interface card has a unique IP address. This address is ﬁxed to the node and is not transferable to another node.
Page 509: Mc/Serviceguard And Ito
SG cluster node to another, together with the SG package. MC/ServiceGuard Support on the Management Server NNM 5.0 does not support MC/ServiceGuard directly. In other words, it is not possible to create an NNM 5.0 ServiceGuard package. However, it is possible to run NNM 5.0 independently on each SG cluster node.
Page 510 ServiceGuard Node1 ITO/NNM Agent active connections if the ITO server is running on Node 1 active connections if the ITO server is running on Node 2 To reduce the amount of data on the shared disk, only /var/opt/OV/share and /etc/opt/OV/share are installed on the shared disk.

Troubleshooting ITO in a ServiceGuard Environment This chapter describes some of the problems you might encounter when working with ITO SG packages, and provides some speciﬁc troubleshooting hints. For more general troubleshooting information, see the troubleshooting section in the Managing MC/ServiceGuard manual.

To increase the size of a tablespace, you must add a dataﬁle of a particular size to the tablespace. You can do this interactively using the Oracle tool, Server Manager, or using the sql command: alter tablespace add datafile. Table C-1 on page 516 shows the default tablespace design and the assigned database tables.
