1.
In NSM, add the cluster object using the Add Cluster wizard.
In the Device Manager, select Devices , click the Add icon, and select Cluster from the
list. Provide the cluster name and color of the icon. Select Junos as the OS name and
J/SRX Series as the Junos OS type. Provide the platform name and managed OS
version.
2.
Add each cluster member.
Right-click the cluster icon in the Device Manager and select New > Cluster Member ,
and follow the instructions in the Add Cluster Member wizard. When prompted, select
Model Device .
Adding a modeled cluster member is similar to adding a modeled standalone Junos
device, except that you must specify a member ID, and you also have the option of
adding a second modeled cluster member within the same workflow. You can add
the second cluster members later if you prefer.
After creating the cluster and member objects, you can then model the configuration.
Configuration modeling is done at the cluster level, because the configuration must be
identical in both cluster members. Use the configuration group mechanism to configure
any member-specific data. See “Configuring Devices” on page 187 for details about
configuring clusters and configuration groups.
Activating and Updating a Modeled Junos Cluster
After modeling a cluster configuration, you must perform the following steps to activate
and update the cluster before you can manage it from NSM:
1.
Install the cluster.
2.
Configure logon credentials for the NSM administrator on each cluster member.
3.
In NSM, activate each cluster member.
In the Device Manager, expand the cluster icon and right-click the cluster member.
Select
Activate Device from the list and follow the instructions in the wizard. Select
Device deployed, but IP is not reachable , when prompted.
4.
On each cluster member, configure and activate the NSM agent and establish an SSH
session with NSM.
5.
Push the modeled configuration to the device by right-clicking any cluster member
icon and selecting
Update Device from the list.
You need push the configuration to only the primary cluster member, because software
on the cluster ensures that both cluster members are synchronized.
