Configuring a Linux environment for clustering
You can configure the IBM Spectrum Protect
Linux® server in a clustered environment by using IBM®
Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms Version 4.1.
Overview of a two-node IBM Spectrum Protect cluster by using System Automation for Multiplatforms System Automation for Multiplatforms cluster for higher server and database availability during a failure. By using the System Automation for Multiplatforms failover function, server components such as the database can automatically recover from a failure.Setting up an IBM Spectrum Protect cluster with System Automation for Multiplatforms IBM Spectrum Protect cluster to use System Automation for Multiplatforms .Prerequisites for configuring a Linux clustered environment with System Automation for Multiplatforms IBM Spectrum Protect in a clustered environment with System Automation for Multiplatforms , you must check the prerequisites.Installing and configuring IBM Spectrum Protect components on the primary and secondary nodes IBM Spectrum Protect server and database components on the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster. Then, configure the primary node first followed by the secondary node. Finally, disable Db2® fault monitor facilities.Installing System Automation for Multiplatforms on the primary and secondary nodes IBM Spectrum Protect on the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster, you must install and configure System Automation for Multiplatforms on these nodes. Then, you must activate these nodes for the domain, configure the resources, and activate the base policy. Finally, you must add the mount points to the IBM Spectrum Protect directories.Configuring storage resources System Automation for Multiplatforms user interface or command line to add or delete storage resources and to delete mount points that are no longer required. If you add a storage pool to the cluster, you must add it to the resource group. If you remove a storage pool from the cluster, you must also delete it from the resource group.Upgrading a server that is configured with System Automation for Multiplatforms System Automation for Multiplatforms .
