Deploying HP SIM 5.x on MSCS clusters on Windows 2008 with SQL Server 2008 536993-001, 02/2009

Note:

The

HP SIM

5.x icon on the

Windows desktop of each system was created by the

installation of HP SIM 5.x as a handy shortcut for a regular standalone server only. This icon is no

longer applicable at this point because the HP SIM 5.x is clustered. The icon should be deleted

from the

desktop of each system to avoid future confusion.

A security alert displays. Click

. The Login window appears.

Be sure to log in with the appropriate username, password, and domain for your cluster.

IMPORTANT:

Clustering allows any system in the clust

er to own the virtual group containing the HP

SIM 5.x resources. With the creation of a virtual network name and IP address specific to the HP

SIM 5.x service, clients can connect to the service without knowing which system currently owns

the virtual group

. When browsing to the virtual name for HP SIM 5.x rather than the name of the

server that owns the virtual group, a security certificate for HP SIM 5.x is sent to your browser. If

your browser is configured to warn about invalid site certificates, a secur

ity alert displays when

connecting to the HP SIM 5.x virtual server (which was created earlier in this paper). This alert

indicates that the name you have connected to does not match the name on the certificate. This is

because the name on the certificate

is the name of the secondary system and not that of the virtual

server. To learn more about the browser security alert, refer to the

HP Systems Insight Manager 5.x

Technical Reference Guide

located on the HP Management CD (version 7.1 or greater).
