Monitor server setup
About this task
The monitoring server cluster resources include:
- Shared persistent storage
- Virtual IP address
- Monitor server service
The generic setup of the hub monitoring server on a cluster includes the following steps:
Procedure
- Set up the basic cluster resource group with a shared persistent storage and virtual IP address.
- Install the monitoring server on the first node of the cluster (shared persistent storage).
- Remove automatic startup of the monitoring server service (if applicable to your platform).
- Bind the monitoring server to the virtual IP address.
- Set up the monitoring server on the second node of the cluster (depending on the platform, this might involve copying registry keys, environment variables, or both to the second node).
- Add the monitoring server as a resource to the resource group.
The specific setup of the monitoring server on different platforms and cluster managers has variations.
