Add the portal server resource to the resource group


See the following final steps for setting up the portal server in the cluster. In the Cluster Administrator:


Procedure

  1. Right-click the resource group that you created for portal server.

  2. Go to New -> Resource and complete the following fields in the dialog:
    1. Resource Type: select Generic Service
    2. Name: can be any user defined name. In this case, use "TEPSservice".

    Figure 1. Entering Name and Resource type into New Resource window

  3. In the Possible Owners list, include both nodes.

    Figure 2. Both nodes appear in the Possible Owners window

  4. As Resource dependencies, include shared disk, virtual IP, virtual host name, DB2, and HELPSVRservice.

    Figure 3. Add Shared disk, virtual IP, virtual host name and DB2

  5. For Generic Service Parameters, the Service name must be KFWSRV.

    Figure 4. Entering KFWSRV into Generic Service Parameters

  6. For Registry Replication, include the following entries:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Candle

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\KFWSRV

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IHSforTivoliEnterprisePortalServer

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

    The registry replication entries might not be identical to the ones in this document.

    As noted in the following window, only the part below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ must be specified to replicate to all nodes in the cluster:

    If you need to be more specific on the registry replication for the IBM and Environment keys, see Add the portal server resource to the resource group and Add the Warehouse Proxy Agent resource to the resource group.
