IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Building a base HACMP cluster for the monitoring server
To build a base HACMP™ cluster for the monitoring server, you must configure the following components:
- HACMP resource group for the monitoring server
- Service IP address for the monitoring server
- File system for the monitoring server
- Monitoring server resource group
Also verify your cluster configuration after completing these configurations.
Configure an HACMP resource group for the monitoring server
Use the smit hacmp command to configure the resource group for the monitoring server.
Configure a service IP address for the monitoring server
Make sure that the domain name system resolves the virtual (service) host name correctly. Create a resource using the virtual IP address for the service IP address. (See the HACMP for AIX Administration Guide.)
Configure a file system for the monitoring server as a shared resource
Create a file system on the shared disk, for example, /sharedisk/IBM/ITM. Also, create a cluster shared resource for this shared file system. (See the HACMP for AIX Administration Guide.)
Create a monitoring server resource group
Create a resource group for the monitoring server using a unique resource group name. Assign the defined resources to this resource group. (See the HACMP for AIX Administration Guide.)
Verify and synchronizing the cluster configuration
Verify your cluster configuration after the previous steps have been completed. Fix any errors found during verification before proceeding. (See the HACMP for AIX Administration Guide.) Review the smit.log (SMIT console messages), and ensure that the cluster services were started correctly and that all nodes are synchronized.
