Installing and configuring the Infrastructure Management server for application high-availability

Review the requirements to configure Infrastructure Management for high availability.

Install or upgrade Infrastructure Management on the primary server.

Fresh install:

(Windows)
Installing the Infrastructure Management Server on Microsoft Windows with Oracle

(Linux) Installing the Infrastructure Management Server on Linux with Oracle

Upgrade:

(Windows) Upgrading the Infrastructure Management server on Microsoft Windows

(Linux) Upgrading the Infrastructure Management server on Linux

Install Infrastructure Management on the secondary server.

Note: (Recommended) During the installation, specify a temporary Oracle instance.

(Alternatively) If you want to avoid usage of temporary oracle instance, you can create one. For more information, see Running the run_oracle_db_scripts.sql script in an Oracle environment.

(Windows)
Installing the Infrastructure Management Server on Microsoft Windows with Oracle

Stop the Infrastructure Management process on both servers.

On the primary server:

1. 1. Run the following command from the pw command prompt:
pw ha enable
      The command generates the HA configuration file ha-generated.conf in the installedDirectory\pw\pronto\tmp directory.
   2. Copy the ha-generated.conf file to the secondary server.

On the secondary server, run the following command from the pw command prompt:

pw ha enable standby file = <path of the ha-generated.conf file>

On the primary server, copy the following folder from the installedDirectory\TrueSight\pw\server\var folder to the same location on the secondary server:
pncell_<host name>#1

On the secondary server:

1. 1. Rename the folder that you copied from the primary server to:
      pncell_<host name>#2
   2. Copy the installedDirectory\TrueSight\pw\pronto\tmp\addremoteagent file to the primary server.

On the primary server, run the addremoteagent file.

(Optional - If you want to configure remote cells)

1. 1. On the primary server, add each remote cell entry to the installedDirectory/server/etc/mcell.dir file in the following format:
      cell <cell name> <encryption key>
      <cell host>:<cell port>
   2. On the primary server, run the iadmin command from the installedDirectory\pw\server\bin directory to register the remote cell:
      iadmin -ac name=<cell name>:key=<encryption key>:primaryHost=<cell host name>:primaryPort=<cell port>:environment=Production:usergroups=*

   3. Perform the preceding steps on the secondary server.

   4. On the primary server, run the mcontrol command from the installedDirectory\pw\server\bin directory to reload the cell configuration:
      mcontrol -n <pncell name> reload dir

Configure the Presentation Server:

Fresh install - Add the Infrastructure Management component to the Presentation Server. In the Host Name/IP Address field, enter the host name configured in the load balancer.

Upgrade install - Update the host name of the Infrastructure Management server in the Host Name/IP Address field with the host name configured in the load balancer.

Configure the integrations with other BMC products.
