To add a client delegate server to an NFM-P system
Purpose
CAUTION Service Disruption |
This procedure requires a restart of each main server in the NFM-P system, which is service-affecting.
Perform this procedure only during a scheduled maintenance period.
The following steps describe how to add a new client delegate server to an existing NFM-P system.
Note: In order to install a client delegate server, you must specify the client delegate server address and installation location in each main server configuration, as described in the procedure.
Note: You require the following user privileges on each main server station:
Note: CLI commands use the following to represent the CLI prompt:
Do not type the leading # symbol or bash$ when you enter a command.
Steps
1 |
If the system is deployed in a standalone configuration, go to Step 7. |
2 |
Perform Step 7 to Step 19 on the standby main server. |
3 |
Perform Step 7 to Step 19 on the primary main server. |
4 |
Perform Step 20 on the primary main server station. |
5 |
When the primary main server is fully operational, perform Step 20 on the standby main server station. |
6 |
Go to Step 21. |
7 |
Log in to the main server station as the root user. |
8 |
Open a console window. |
9 |
If you plan to use a hostname rather than an IP address for the client delegate server, add an entry to the /etc/hosts file on the main server that maps the client delegate server hostname to the IP address. |
10 |
Stop the main server.
