3-3-1 System requirements for a cluster service

The requirements for a cluster environment are as follows:

• Platform: See Table 3-1.

• Cluster software: Microsoft® cluster service (MSCS)

• Number of nodes: 2

• Cluster configuration: Active-standby configuration

NOTE: On all nodes that make up a cluster, the disk configuration must be the same, and the

installation folder for the Device Manager server must have the same name (including the drive

letter and path name).

CAUTION: During installation, there is a step to back up and migrate the databases. Make sure

that you secure the free disk space for backup and migration before installation. For the disk

space required to back up, see subsection

3-7-1 . The target disk (that is placed on the shared

disk or local disk) to which the database is to be migrated must have the same free disk space or

more as the database of the migration source.

CAUTION: To change the Device Manager settings after installation, specify the same settings for

all nodes

3-3-2 Preparations for installing Device Manager in an

environment where other XP Command View AE Suite

products are running

This section describes preparations required before installing Device Manager in an environment in

which other XP Command View AE Suite products are running in a cluster configuration.

IMPORTANT: In this procedure, the cluster configuration for other XP Command View AE Suite

products is temporarily cancelled.

IMPORTANT: When you execute the hcmdsdbremake command used in this procedure, the

setting of the port that HiRDB uses will be restored to the default (23032). If you changed the port

number from the default to another number, take a note of the port number that is being used so

that you can set it again later.

1. Access the Cluster Administrator.

2. For each XP Command View AE Suite product and the HiRDB service, remove that product

from the cluster monitoring target, as follows:

○ Place the target service offline.

○ Right-click each target service, select Properties, and then click the Advanced tab. Select

Do not restart, and then select OK.

3. Stop the services of all XP Command View AE Suite products in both the executing and

standby nodes.

For details about how to stop these services, see the manual for your product version.

4. Stop the Common Component services in both the executing and standby nodes:

<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdssrv /stop

The following shows an example of executing the command:

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdssrv /stop

NOTE: Do not stop the Common Component services while another XP Command View AE Suite

program is running.
