Installing and upgrading HP Insight Management 7.3 on Windows Server 2012 Failover Clusters

Technical white paper | HP Insight Management 7.3
B. Configure the new cluster systems, Insight Management, and the SQL server with the same administrator
passwords as in the source cluster. The SQL Server may be installed on the same Insight Management cluster or
on another cluster in the same domain.
2. On the source cluster or Standalone Server, follow the instructions in the Data Migration of an existing Microsoft
Windows CMS to a new Insight Management 7.3 system White Paper to perform the following:
A. Prepare the source CMS and run the export utility on one of the nodes in the Windows 2012 cluster or on the
Standalone Server.
B. Prepare the target CMS, copy the exported file from Source to Target Cluster node, and run the import utility on
one of the nodes in the Windows 2012 cluster while the other cluster node is shutdown.
Note:
The Data Migration of an Existing Microsoft Windows CMS to a new Insight Management 7.3 system White Paper has
additional configuration steps on the target side in case the target Insight Management Cluster is set up with SQL Server
installed on another cluster.
C. Finish the configuration of Insight Management in the Windows 2012 cluster.
Note:
In 7.3, the Data Migration Tool supports workgroup to domain migrations.
In 7.3, the Data Migration Tool supports migration from a SQL Server running in the local server or cluster to a SQL Server
running in a cluster that is remote to the target Insight Management cluster. Both clusters must be members of the same
Windows domain.
Note:
Insight Management 7.3 does not support Windows Server 2003 MSCS clustering.
The following table lists the white papers you need to migrate an Insight Management 2012 Cluster or Standalone to a
2012 cluster.

Appendix F: Configure static IPv6 address to the Cluster virtual server and
the HP SIM virtual server in Failover Cluster Manager
This appendix provides the instructions to attach the static IPv6 address to the Cluster virtual server and the HP SIM
virtual server in Failover Cluster Manager. If the cluster nodes are configured in the dual stack (with connectivity on the
IPv6 network), the Failover Cluster Manager automatically acquires the link local IPv6 address for the client access point.
In the High Availability environment, it is recommended to have static addresses attached to client access point. For the
lab testing purposes, the following script was used to configure static IPv6 addresses for the virtual server hosted in
Failover cluster manager. After the static IPv6 addresses are attached and configured for the virtual server, the default
link local IPv6 address can be removed from the Failover Cluster Manager.
