IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Set up the monitoring server cluster configuration
Perform additional verification of your cluster configuration by testing the monitoring server failover scenarios:
- Manually migrate resource groups through the System Management (C-SPOC) panel under the Manage HACMP™ Services SMIT panel.
- Manually stop services (can also be done through the System Management (C-SPOC) panel) on the higher priority node.
- Create a custom test plan to automate the monitoring server failover testing. (See HACMP for AIX Administration Guide.)
Connect one OS agent from any supported system (ux, lz, or nt ) to this monitoring server, pointing onto the host name virtualhost.
You can connect a portal server to this monitoring server or use the CLI:
- Log on to the monitoring server using ./tacmd login
- List the managed systems using ./tacmd listsystems
You see the hub monitoring server and the agent as two managed systems.
