Revision history Version Date Description of Revision 1.0 June 2011 First release of white paper 1.1 February 2012 First update of whitepaper Abstract Using Failover Clustering with HP Insight Software is a simple way of achieving redundancy, availability, load balancing, and failover capability for this powerful management software. This white paper is intended to assist IT professionals with one or more of the following: 1. Install Insight Software 6.
2 0 0 8 R2 Fa ilover Clusters with SQ L Server 2 0 0 8 for high a va ila bility”, should be followed for the procedure. Note: If you need to provide high availability for Systems Insight Manager and no other Insight Software products, you might opt to use one of the white papers mentioned below instead of this one. If you need high availability, now or later, for more Insight Software products than just Systems Insight Manager, continue to follow the instructions in this document.
– HP Insight Control server deployment: The tool that configures and deploys multiple servers quickly and predictably in an unattended fashion using scripts and system images. Includes predefined scripts to configure HP server hardware and deploy operating systems for W indows and Linux platforms.

Softwa re documents ca n be found a t http:/ / h1 8 0 0 4 .www1 .hp.com/ products/ servers/ ma na gement/ unified/ infolibra ryis.html The rela tionship between the Microsoft SQ L Server 2 0 0 8 Enterprise insta nces a nd Insight Softwa re is shown in Figure 1 . • A Fa ilover Cluster defines virtua l servers. A virtua l server ha s a unique sta tic client-fa cing network na me a nd IP a ddress, ca lled a n a ccess point tha t is registered with the DN S.
Getting sta rted This white pa per documents how to insta ll Insight Softwa re on a new two-node Microsoft Fa ilover Cluster. Note: W indows 2008 R2 Enterprise supports Failover Clusters up to 16 nodes. The number of supported nodes in a cluster varies by operating system version. For details, navigate to http:/ / support.microsoft.com a nd sea rch for “Ma ximum number of supported nodes in a cluster”.
So f tw a r e The software needed: • Microsoft W indows Server 2 0 0 8 R2 Enterprise, which includes – Fa ilover Clustering – Microsoft Distributed Tra nsa ction Coordina tor (DTC) • Microsoft SQ L Server 2 0 0 8 Enterprise with Service Pa ck 1 • HP Insight Softwa re 6 .3 DVD # 1 a nd DVD # 2 • Upda te DVD, if insta lling Insight Softwa re 6 .3 upda te • Additiona l softwa re a s specified in “Requirements for non-O S softwa re a nd Supported browsers” in the HP Insight Softwa re 6 .
1. Fa ilover Cluster virtua l server a nd a ccess point Function: To act as the virtual server IP address and name for the Failover Cluster software. Suggested action: W indows management tools use this address to get status and manage the Failover Cluster software. In addition, Systems Insight Manager uses this address to discover the Failover Cluster. For the examples discussed in this white paper, the IP address is 16.92.155.183 and the name is CMS-C2-CLUSTER. 2.
If you a re implementing sha red stora ge with a n iSCSI SAN , in a ddition to the a bove network resources, you need a n a dditiona l dedica ted network a da pter on ea ch cluster system a nd, possibly, IP a ddresses for the ta rget. (The ta rget is the stora ge controller to which the cluster systems connect to a ccess SAN resources.) Cluster configura tion Figure 1 demonstra tes how to configure a cluster for enha nced performa nce once a ll components a re insta lled.
Insta lling a nd configuring prerequisites on both systems Note: Until the next major section, Install the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise, all tasks below are performed on each system of the cluster. Ensure the Microsoft W indows Server 2008 R2 distribution media is available to each system. In sta llin g A p p lica tio n Ser v er Ro le Install this role and features to support Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and HP Insight Software. On each system: 1 .

In sta llin g SN M P SN MP is a prerequisite for the installation of Systems Insight Manager. SN MP Services are not automatically installed in W indows Server 2008 R2. On each system: 1 . Select Sta r t A d m in istr a tiv e To o ls Ser v er M a n a g er . 2 .
5 . In the list of Accepted community names, ensure that the name public with READ WRITE rights is present. After Insight Software has been installed this setting may be changed to reflect the local environment. 6. Select Accept SNMP packets from any host. After Insight Software has been installed this setting may be changed to accept SN MP packets from specific hosts only.
Crea ting the Fa ilover Cluster Ensure both systems a re powered on. Log-in to one of them using the Cluster Administra tor a ccount. Follow the five steps a s described in “Checklist: Crea te a Fa ilover Cluster” a t http:/ / technet.microsoft.com/ en-us/ libra ry/ cc7 5 5 0 0 9 .a spx a nd the notes included in Ta ble 2 : Creating the Failover Cluster. Refer also to the additional information on Failover Clusters at http:/ / technet.microsoft.com/ en-us/ library/ cc754482.aspx.
Upon completion of cluster crea tion you should see a screen simila r to Figure 3 .

Bringing the virtua l group conta ining the Insight Softwa re resources online In the left pa ne of Failover Cluster Manager, right-click on the HP SIM Group, in this white paper cmsc2-hpsim, and select Bring this service or application online. If configured properly, all resources should come online, as shown in the Figure 9.
O nce a W indows service is configured a s a Fa ilover Cluster resource, it should a lwa ys be stopped or resta rted using Fa ilover Cluster Ma na ger. W hen a Fa ilover Cluster resource is online, it should never be stopped or resta rted using the W indows Services console. Doing so is likely to cause the group to which the service belongs to failover.
connecting to Systems Insight Ma na ger, refer to the HP Systems Insight Ma na ger User Guide . 3 . A security a lert a ppea rs. Click Co n tin u e to th is w eb site. The Systems Insight Manager sign in window appears. IMPORTANT: Clustering allows any system in the cluster to own the virtual group that contains the Insight Software resources including the Systems Insight Manager service. In this white paper, the virtual group is named as cmsc2-hpsim.
d. If W MI Ma pper wa s not insta lled by the Insight Softwa re Insta ller, then enter the FQ DN of the host tha t is providing this service. (This host will not be pa rt of the cluster.) e. Verify the port number a nd a djust a s needed. f. Click OK. 8 . N a viga te to Options Protocol Settings Globa l Protocol Settings. The Globa l Protocol Settings pa ge a ppea rs. a .
