2.5.2 Configuring Clusters for Business Continuity
This procedure consists of
“Enabling Clusters for Business Continuity” on page 35
“Adding Cluster Peer Credentials” on page 35
“Adding Resource Script Search and Replace Values” on page 36
These tasks must be performed on each separate cluster that you want to be part of the business
continuity cluster.
NOTE:
Identity Manager must be configured and running before configuring clusters for business
continuity.
Enabling Clusters for Business Continuity
If you want to enable a cluster to fail over selected resources or all cluster resources to another
cluster, you must enable business continuity on that cluster.
1
Start your Internet browser and enter the URL for iManager.
The URL is http://
server_ip_address
/nps/iManager.html. Replace
server_ip_address
with the
IP address or DNS name of the server that has iManager and the IDM preconfigured templates
for iManager installed. This server should be in the same eDirectory tree as the cluster you are
enabling for business continuity.
2
Enter your username and password.
3
Ensure that the Business Continuity-specific IDM drivers are running.
3a
In the left column, click
DirXML,
and then click the
DirXML Overview
link.
3b
Search the eDirectory Container or tree for the Business Continuity-specific DirXML
drivers.
3c
Click the upper right corner of the driver icon(s) to see if the driver is started or stopped.
If the driver is stopped, you can start it by choosing Start.
4
In the left column, click
Clusters
, then click the
Cluster Options
link.
5
Specify a cluster name or browse and select one.
6
Click the
Properties
button, then click the
Business Continuity
tab.
7
Ensure that the
Enable Business Continuity Features
check box is selected.
8
Repeat
Step 1
through
Step 7
for the other cluster that this cluster will migrate resources to.
9
Continue with
Step 1
in the
Adding Cluster Peer Credentials
section below.
Adding Cluster Peer Credentials
In order for one cluster to connect to a second cluster, the first cluster must be able to authenticate to
the second cluster. To make this possible, you must add the username and password of the user that
the selected cluster will use to connect to the selected peer cluster.
