Using HP Insight Software from a Highly Available Central Management Server with Microsoft Cluster Service

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 disk: SQL IP Address, SQL Network Name, SQL Server, SQL Server
Agent, SQL Server Fulltext. Be sure that the new Microsoft SQL Server virtual server is running by
connecting to it through the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Installing Insight software components on the cluster
After completing the installation of a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition instance, or
verification of the availability of an existing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 instance, you are ready to
proceed with the installation of the Insight software components on the cluster.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin, be sure that all hardware and software installation requirements are
satisfied. Refer to the HP Insight Control Management Installation Checklist and HP Insight Control
Management Quick Setup Poster included on the HP ICM DVD
 Ensure that both systems are running cluster services.
 Ensure that the SQL Server instance to which you are installing the Insight software databases is
running as a cluster service. Test failover between nodes.
 Review the Release Notes for the components being installed.
 Confirm the installation prerequisites are met by running the Insight Control Environment Advisor.
Installing Insight software components on the primary system
1. Shutdown the secondary node. The Insight software installation process requires a reboot. If the
second cluster node is active, all resources will automatically failover to that node preventing a
clean installation.
2. On the primary system, log into Microsoft Windows as a user with administrator rights.
Note: Be sure to log in with the same user ID that you used to install the Microsoft SQL Server
2005 Enterprise Edition instance.
3. Insert the HP ICM DVD into the DVD drive. If the DVD has an AutoRun feature, the End User
License agreement appears. If AutoRun is not enabled on the primary system, execute autorun.exe
from the DVD root directory. Read the End User License agreement and continue following the
installation instructions.
4. Run the Insight Control Environment Advisor to confirm that all the installation requirements are
met.
5. When ready, select “3. Run Integrated Installer”. Select installation by customized product list.
From the list select desired products. DO NOT select “HP Service Essentials Remote Support Pack”,
or “HP Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack”, as these are not supported in a clustered
environment.
6. When prompted for the Installation Directory, specify a directory on the shared disk. If the path
does not exist, confirm path creation when prompted.
7. If you have selected Rapid Deployment Pack, you must choose to use RDP on an existing remote
server. RDP is not supported in a clustered environment.
8. From the Database configuration prompt, select Use existing SQL/MSDE database.
 Enter the virtual host name assigned to the SQL Server.
 Enter the name of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition instance that you created. Refer
to “Installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.” For this paper, the instance name
VSE-SQLSVR\VSE_INSTANCE is used.
 Ensure that the port number is correctly determined.
