To install Management and Monitoring Services in a cluster:

1. Follow the instructions provided in Section 7.1, Installation on NetWare and Windows, keeping in mind the following cluster-specific detail:

   • In Step 9, choose the destination volume for the components from the Authenticated Tree option through the cluster virtual server.

     The DNS entry for the virtual server object must be there, or the hosts file in the \Windows folder needs to have an entry for the virtual server object for the cluster volume where you want to install.

     If the same cluster volume is selected using the mapped drive option or by expanding the cluster node servers, then the install is considered to be a normal install and the system files are copied to all of the cluster nodes. Therefore the product only works on that node.

     IMPORTANT:The NetWare Management Agent cannot be installed on a cluster volume because it is used to manage the cluster node servers. To manage all nodes, the Netware Management Agent needs to be present on all of the nodes.

2. After installation in the cluster, manually add the following line to the cluster volume load script:

   sys:\system\mmsstart.ncf
   

3. Manually add the following line to the cluster volume unload script:

   sys:\system\mmsstop.ncf
   

4. Make sure that the following lines are present in the beginning of a cluster volume unload script:

   sys:\system\mmsstop.ncf
   

   unload dbsrv8.nlm
   

   IMPORTANT:If you have already installed ZENworks 7 Server Inventory in a clustered environment, add the sys:\system\mmsstop.ncf line before the unload dbsrv8.nlm entry.

5. Ensure that the volume ID is less than 32 for NetExplorer™ to work. This is because of the BTRIEVE database restriction. To specify the volume ID, use the following command in the load script:

   mount volume_name VOLID = volume_number 
   

6. You must install the Traffic Analysis Agent on the cluster volume only if all of the cluster nodes are on the same segment. If you do not, the agent does not provide consistent information when you change the cluster node.

   If you are installing Traffic Analysis Agent or Management Site Server on the cluster shared volume, you must add sys:\system\mmsstart.ncf to the shared volume load script and sys:\system\mmsstop.ncf to the shared volume unload script.

   When a shared volume is loaded on a node, the mmsstart.ncf file contains the information to start the Database, Naming Server, Discovery, and Sloader processes if the Management Site Server is installed, and information to start the Traffic Analysis Agent if the Traffic Analysis Agent is installed on that cluster-shared volume. When a shared volume is unloaded from a node, mmsstop.ncf contains the information to stop the Naming Server, Discovery, and Sloader processes, and to stop the Traffic Analysis Agent, depending on whether it is installed.

   If you are installing the Traffic Analysis Agent on a shared volume, update the lanz.ncf file in the \zfs_agnt\lanz directory by adding the location where you want the trend files to be generated. For example:

   load gtrend.nlm \dvolume_name:\directory
