Run the High Availability Resource Kit on Active UI Server Cluster Node

The High Availability Resource Kit defines CA SOI cluster resources and customizes required files. Run the kit on the active node to configure CA SOI for an MSCS environment. This utility also enables CA EEM data store replication.

Follow these steps:

1. Copy the \Disk1\SSAHA folder of the installation image to the shared disk on Node A. Run the kit from the shared drive to use for CA SOI shared data files.

   Note: For more information about selecting the shared drive, see Cluster Requirements.

2. Open the SSAHA folder on the shared drive and run setupMscs.hta.
3. Click CA Service Operations Insight HA Setup.

   The HA Setup dialog opens with introductory information.

4. Click Yes.

   A dialog appears for selecting the shared drive.

   Note: If you are not running the utility on a cluster node, a failure dialog appears, and the utility closes.

5. Select the drive letter for the shared disk on which the CA SOI data files will reside and click OK.

   Note: The shared disks that are online on the cluster node are listed. The local disks are not included.

   If SQL Server is installed on the same cluster, select the shared disk that is associated with the SQL Server cluster resource group.

   Note: The drive letter that you select is where the CA SOI resource kit is installed. Otherwise, the resource kit does not let you continue.

6. Click Yes when asked to enable CA EEM data store replication if CA EEM is installed on the cluster node.

   A dialog appears stating the data store replication is enabled.

   Note: CA EEM data store replication is not in effect until it is enabled on all cluster nodes. For more information, see How to Configure CA EEM Data Store Replication.

7. Click OK.

   The CA EEM directory services are restarted, and the resource kit completes the high availability setup.

8. Open the Cluster Administrator and select the cluster group on which you ran the kit.

   Add the following resources to the cluster group:

   • CA SAM Application Server
   • CA SAM Event Management
   • CA SAM Integration Services
   • CA SAM User Interface Server
   • CA SAM Store Indexer
   • CA SAM UCF Broker

   Note: Some of the resources may not exist if the relevant CA SOI component is not installed.

9. Offline the CA SOI cluster resources.

   Some CA SOI resources can take up to 5 minutes to shut down. The installation sets the service shutdown timeout value to 5 minutes, but the HA Resource Kit changes this value to one minute. The change takes effect after the services are restarted.

   The high availability resource kit has run on Node A.

10. Run a Move Group operation to the second cluster node (Node B).

    Note: The Move Group operation fails if the resources are online.

    Node B is now the active node.

    In a multi-cluster deployment, repeat this procedure on each cluster after completing the full high availability setup on previous clusters, according to the defined sequence.
