IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Set up the portal server database and ODBC DSN in the cluster
About this task
Set up the portal server database by completing the following steps:Make sure the Portal Server resource group is running on clusternode1.
Parent topic:
Install and set up the portal server in the cluster
Complete this procedure on clusternode1
Procedure
- Create a local user on clusternode1 for the portal server database access, for example, ITMUser.
- Create the portal server database (for instance, TEPS) under the clustered instance on the shared drive R.
- Grant access to the portal server database to the user.
- In the ODBC data sources on the computer, create a System DSN (Data Source Name) named TEPS2, point to the previously created portal server database, and test the connection. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide for more details.
- If the portal server must connect to a Tivoli Data Warehouse, make sure that the required ODBC DSN to the Tivoli Data Warehouse DB is also configured and tested.
- Move the portal server resource group to clusternode2.
Complete this procedure on clusternode2
Procedure
- Create a local user (same as in clusternode1) on clusternode2 for the portal server DB access.
- Start the DB2 Control Center and make sure that access has been granted to the user.
- In the ODBC data sources, create a System DSN named TEPS2, pointed to the portal server database, and test the connection.
- If the portal server needs to connect to a Tivoli Data Warehouse, make sure that the required ODBC DSN to the Tivoli Data Warehouse DB is also configured and tested.
- Move the portal server resource group back to clusternode1.
