Configure remote monitoring servers to switch to a standby hub monitoring
server when the acting hub monitoring server becomes unavailable. Configure
all remote monitoring servers consistently by specifying the Primary Hub as
the hub to which they connect, and the Secondary Hub as the standby hub.
Complete the following steps on Windows to configure a remote monitoring
server to switch to a standby hub when the acting hub monitoring server becomes
unavailable:
On the Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services window, right-click the name of a remote monitoring server
and click Reconfigure.
Complete the following steps on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
Configuration window:
In the TEMS Type field, select Remote to indicate that this is a remote monitoring server.
Enter the name of the remote monitoring server in the TEMS Name field.
Select the Configure Hot Standby TEMS check box
to configure a standby server.
Specify the protocols used by the standby server. (The protocols are the
same for the Primary Hub and Secondary Hub.)
Figure 30 shows
an example of a completed configuration window:
On the Hub TEMS Configuration window, enter the host name or IP address
of the Primary Hub and verify the communication settings for this server.
Click OK.
On the Hub TEMS Configuration for Hot Standby window, specify the Secondary
Hub as the standby server. Enter the host name or IP address of the Secondary
Hub in the Hostname or IP Address field.
Click OK.
Restart the remote monitoring server. (On Windows®, the monitoring server stops automatically.)
Complete the following steps on Linux or UNIX to configure a remote monitoring
server to switch to a standby hub when the acting hub monitoring server becomes
unavailable:
On the Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services window, right-click the name of a remote monitoring server
and click Configure.
Click the Advanced Settings tab.
Select Specify Hot Standby.
Type the host name of the Secondary Hub in the Standby
TEMS Site field.
Select the type of protocol to use for hot standby. This is the same protocol
on both the Primary Hub and Secondary Hub.
If you specified any backup protocols for the hub monitoring servers,
specify identical protocols for the remote monitoring server.
