Creating a HAM environment

This section describes the steps required to create a 3+1 HAM environment with a single cluster, and with all three primaries configured as floating spares.

About this task

This is just one of the many variations a HAM environment can have. The procedures described in the following sections indicate the specific steps where you can vary the configuration.

Note: If you are setting up a new Tivoli® Netcool® Performance Manager environment and plan to use a HAM in that environment, perform the following tasks in the following order:

Procedure

Install all collectors.
Configure and start the HAM.
Install all technology packs.
Perform the discovery.

Topology prerequisites
The minimum component prerequisite.
Procedures
The general procedures for creating a single-cluster HAM with one designated spare and three floating spares.

Adding the designated spare
How to create and add a designated spare.
Add the managed definitions
A managed definition allows the HAM to bind a collector profile to a collector process.
Define the resource pools
A resource pool is a list of the spares, in priority order, that the HAM can bind to a particular managed definition.
Save and start the HAM
When you finish configuring the HAM as described in the previous sections, you are ready to save the configuration and start the HAM.
