Configure a Policy Server as a Centralized Monitor for a Cluster

The OneView Monitor can be configured to monitor a Policy Server cluster. To enable this configuration, one Policy Server must be set up as a centralized monitor with the other clustered Policy Servers pointing to it.

To configure a Policy Server as a centralized monitor

1. Start the Policy Server Management Console.

   Important! If you are accessing this graphical user interface on Windows Server 2008, open the shortcut with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

2. In the Settings tab, select Allow Incoming Remote Connections.

   Note: For more information about the settings and controls on this tab, click Help, Management Console Help.

3. Click OK to save your changes and close the Policy Server Management Console.
4. Restart the OneView Monitor.

This setting allows the centralized Policy Server monitor to accept remote connections from the other clustered Policy Servers.

Note: The network channel between a Policy Server and a Monitor process is non-secure.

After you configure a Policy Server as a centralized monitor, configure the Policy Server Management Console to point the other clustered Policy Servers to it.
