Add the Discovered MSCS AIM Instance

After adding a Microsoft Cluster Service connection to the CA Server Automation manager, add the AIM instance to manage the Microsoft Cluster Service environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Server Automation user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

   The Configuration page appears.

2. Select Microsoft Cluster Service from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
3. Click (Add) on the Discovered Microsoft Cluster AIM Instances pane toolbar.

   The Add Cluster AIM Instance appears.

4. Select the AIM Host from the drop-down list.

   The list of discovered AIM Hosts appears.

5. Select the Registered Cluster from the drop-down list.

   CA Server Automation populates the Registered Cluster drop-down list with the Cluster Names listed in the Registered Microsoft Clusters pane. You can only manage those clusters for which your CA Server Automation manager has a valid connection established.

   Note: If the AIM resides on a remote system, CA Server Automation must discover the system first. After discovery, the AIM server appears in the drop-down list.

6. Click OK.

   A new AIM instance for the selected cluster is added. If the instance is not in an error or in a stopped state, CA Server Automation starts to discover the associated environment. When the discovery process is complete, you can start managing your Microsoft Cluster Service environment.
