Option 3: Installing a patch after installing a major Insight Management release
The main body of this whitepaper describes installing Insight Management in a cluster. It also discusses applying an
incremental update, if applicable, and any applicable Insight Management Software Patches after Insight Management
release install. The steps from the main body of the white paper are summarized as follows:
1. Create a two-node Failover Cluster with Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator and Microsoft SQL Server
Enterprise installed.
2. Install Insight Management 7.2 on the primary system, with secondary node powered down to avoid unintentional
failover. Immediately afterwards, install the Insight Management 7.2 incremental update, if applicable, on the primary
system.
3. Install Insight Management 7.2 on the secondary system with primary node powered down. Immediately afterwards,
install the Insight Management 7.2 incremental update, if it was installed on the primary system.
4. Power on the primary system and wait for it to come up online.
5. Move the Insight Management resources over to the primary system. Wait for the HP SIM group resources to come
online.
6. Install the Insight Management Software Patches following the patch instructions on the primary system, if applicable.
7. After the patch installation is completed on the primary system, move the Insight Management resources over to the
secondary system. Wait for the HP SIM group resources to come online.
8. Install the Insight Management Software Patches on the secondary system if the Insight Management Software
patches have been installed on the primary system.
Note:
For patch updates requiring only a registry update on secondary system, follow the instructions as described in the patch.
9. Perform validation.
