Installing and upgrading HP Insight Management 7.2 Update 2 on Windows Server 2012 Failover Clusters

Technical white paper | HP Insight Management 7.2
35
Completing and validating the installation
At this time both nodes of the cluster remain online, Insight Management services are online, and you are logged into
Windows on the primary system with the SQL/IM Administrator account.
Configuring Systems Insight Manager and validating the cluster
It is important to complete the following Systems Insight Manager configuration steps on first login.
1. Verify that the following system’s public network IP addresses are currently found on the primary system.
A. The Failover Cluster virtual server IP address (in this white paper 15.199.242.161)
B. The Systems Insight Manager virtual server IP address (in this white paper 15.199.242.164)
C. The primary system physical IP address (in this white paper 15.199.242.157)
Using the Command Prompt, execute the command ipconfig /all and verify that all these IP addresses are
shown on the public network Ethernet adaptor. If all IP addresses are not present, restart the secondary system, wait
for it to come back online, and then recheck the IP addresses.
2. After waiting a few minutes to ensure that the Systems Insight Manager service has started, connect to the Systems
Insight Manager service through a client Web browser, using the network name you specified when creating the
Systems Insight Manager network name resource, in this white paper CMS-C16-MATRIX. The CMS-C16-MATRIX:280
URL specifies the virtual server network name and the port for the Systems Insight Manager service. For example,
http://cms-c16-matrix.fqdn:280/.
Tip:
You must always specify port 280 in the URL of your Web browser to connect to the Systems Insight Manager service. To
learn more about connecting to Systems Insight Manager, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide.
3. A security alert appears. Click Continue to this website. The Systems Insight Manager sign in window appears.
Important:
Clustering allows any system in the cluster to own the virtual group that contains the Insight Management resources
including the Systems Insight Manager service. In this white paper, the virtual group is named as cms-c16-matrix. Using the
virtual network name and IP address specific to the Systems Insight Manager service, clients can connect to the Systems
Insight Manager without knowing which system currently owns its virtual group. When browsing to the virtual name for
Systems Insight Manager, rather than the name of the server that owns the virtual group, a security certificate for Systems
Insight Manager is sent to your browser. If your browser is configured to warn about invalid site certificates, a security alert
displays when connecting to the Systems Insight Manager virtual server (which was created earlier in this white paper). This
alert indicates that the server name to which you have connected does not match the name on the certificate. This is
because the name on the certificate is the name of the secondary system of the cluster and not that of the virtual server.
This warning can be ignored.
To learn more about the browser security alert, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide.
4. Sign in to Systems Insight Manager with the SQL/IM Administrator account. After you have successfully logged in, the
Systems Insight Manager home appears.
5. In Systems Insight Manager, navigate to the All Systems page.
A. A system with the name of the Failover Cluster virtual server, in this white paper CMS-C16-CLUSTER, should be
present.
B. Click this name in the System Name column and verify that Cluster Monitor is invoked.
C. If Cluster Monitor does not start successfully, shut down the secondary system. Restart the primary system; after
the primary system is back online, power on the secondary system and wait for it to come online. Log in to the
primary system and go back to Step 1.
6. Navigate to the All Systems page.
A. In the leftmost checkboxes, select all systems except the Failover Cluster virtual server, in this white paper CMS-
C16-CLUSTER.
