IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

---

Set up the monitoring server on clusternode2

Procedure

1. Shut down the monitoring server on clusternode1.

2. Start smit hacmp and switch the cluster to host2.

3. Log on at host2. You should see /sharedisk/IBM/ITM with the installed monitoring server.

4. Change to the following directory:

   /sharedisk/IBM/ITM/config

5. You find two configuration files for the monitoring server:

   host1_ms_HUB_VIRTUALHOST.config
   virtualhost_ms_HUB_VIRTUALHOST.config

6. Create a symbolic link to this file in the same directory:

   host1_ms_HUB_VIRTUALHOST.config

   Name of the link:

   host2_ms_HUB_VIRTUALHOST.config

   This is required. Otherwise, the startup of the monitoring server fails.

What to do next

Now you can start the monitoring server on host2 with this command:

./itmcmd server start HUB_VIRTUALHOST

Check the managed systems with ./tacmd listsystems. After a few minutes, you see that the agent is online again. If the monitoring server is configured to validate users IDs, ensure that the users are registered with the local operating system on both computers with the same user name as the one used to log on to the portal server and a password.
