Run the Failover Cluster Validation Wizard
To have a supported cluster, the Validation Wizard must be run on the final complete system and any time there is a
material change to cluster hardware or software.
Installation complete
The cluster installation of HP Insight Management is now complete and validated. You may continue to perform other
configuration steps as needed.
Configuring the cluster for operations
To implement the Insight Management high availability configuration described in Figure 1 with Systems Insight Manager
and Microsoft SQL Server running on different nodes, HP recommends you use the cluster resource ownership arrangement
shown in Figure 12. Use Failover Cluster Manager to move the Resource Groups as needed. If a node were to fail, its
resources would fail over to the other node.
