Figure 1 depicts an environment with the hot standby feature configured.Figure 1. IBM Tivoli Monitoring configuration with hot standby
The following sections provide an overview of how each component in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment is configured to enable the hot standby feature.
- Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers
- Remote monitoring servers
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring agents
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal server
- Tivoli Enterprise Automation Server
The Tivoli Enterprise Automation Server supports hot standby when it is co-located with a Hub monitoring server that is configured for hot standby. The Tivoli Enterprise Automation Server must be co-located with each Hub monitoring server that is configured for hot standby. When the automation server is configured in a Hot Standby environment, the Registry Services component of Jazz for Service Management must be at version 1.1.0.1 (or later). The Tivoli Enterprise Automation Server does not support hot standby failover independent of the hub monitoring server.
