ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition V3.1.0 User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management)

5.11 Registering Admin LAN Subnets [Windows]

This section explains how to perform admin LAN subnet registration.

Registering admin LAN subnets enables management of managed servers belonging to subnets other than that of the admin LAN.

Use the following procedure to register an admin LAN subnet.

1. From the ROR console menu, select [Settings]-[Admin LAN Subnet].

   The [Admin LAN Subnet] dialog is displayed.

2. Click <Add>.

   The [Add Admin LAN Subnet] dialog is displayed.

3. To use this feature, the following settings must first be defined:

   Subnet name

   Set the subnet name for registration.
   The name must start with an alphabetic character and can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters long (including underscores, "_", hyphens, "-", and periods, ".").

   Network address

   Configure the network address of the subnet used as the admin LAN.
   Enter valid values for the network address.

   Subnet mask

   Enter valid values for the subnet mask.

   Gateway

   Enter the settings for the gateway used for communication with the admin server on the admin LAN.

4. Click <OK>.

Information

When registering an admin LAN subnet for the first time, change the simplified DHCP service for Resource Orchestrator to the Windows standard DHCP Server.
Resource Orchestrator takes exclusive possession of the Windows standard DHCP Server.

Note

• It is necessary to perform network settings for each admin LAN subnet so that managed servers belonging to subnets other than the admin LAN can communicate with the admin server.

  For details on how to configure the network settings, refer to "Chapter 9 Defining and Configuring the Network Environment" in the "Design Guide CE".

• In a clustered manager configuration, when registering an admin LAN subnet for the first time, perform "Settings for Clustered Manager Configurations".

Settings for Clustered Manager Configurations

The following configuration is necessary only when registering an admin LAN subnet for the first time.

Information

When configuring a cluster system in an environment that already has an admin LAN registered, perform steps 5. to 10. and 13.

1. Allocate the shared disk to the primary node.

   Right-click [Services and Applications]-[RC-manager] on the Failover Cluster Management tree, and select [Move this service or application to another node]-[1 - Move to node node_name] from the displayed menu.
   The name of the primary node is displayed for node_name.

2. Delete the registry replication settings from the following "Services and Applications" of the manager.

   Based on the following table, delete registry replication for the resources.

   • x64

     Resources for Deletion	Registry Key
     Deployment Service	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\ResourceDepot
     	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\DatabaseBroker\Default
     PXE Services	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\DHCP
     	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\PXE\ClientBoot\

   • x86

     Resources for Deletion	Registry Key
     Deployment Service	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\ResourceDepot
     	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\DatabaseBroker\Default
     PXE Services	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\DHCP
     	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\]SOFTWARE\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard\PXE\ClientBoot\

   Perform the following procedure for each of the above resources:

   1. Right-click the target resource on [Other Resources] on the [Summary of RC-manager] displayed in the middle of the [Failover Cluster Management] window, and select [Properties] from the displayed menu.
      The [target_resource Properties] window will be displayed.

   2. From the [Root Registry Key] displayed on the [Registry Replication] tab, select the above registry keys and click <Remove>.

      The selected key is removed from [Root Registry Key].
      When deleting the second registry key, repeat step b.

   3. Click <Apply>.

      The settings are applied.

   4. Click <OK> to close the dialog.

3. Take the following services of the "Services and Applications" for the manager offline.

   • Deployment Service

   • TFTP Service

   • PXE Services

4. Register an admin LAN subnet.

5. On the primary node, bring the shared disk of the manger online, and take all other cluster resources offline.

6. Open [Services] from [Administrative Tools] on the Windows Control Panel, and then configure the startup type of DHCP Server service as "Manual" on the [Services] window.

7. From the [Services] window, stop the DHCP Server service.

8. Using Explorer, copy the following folder from the local disk of the primary node to the folder on the shared disk.

   Local Disk (Source)	Shared Disk (Target)
   %SystemRoot%\System32\dhcp	Drive_name:\Fujitsu\ROR\SVROR\dhcp

   Example

   When the OS has been installed on the C drive, it is %SystemRoot%C:\Windows.

9. Configure access rights for the folder for the DHCP Server that was copied to the shared disk. Execute the following command using the command prompt of the primary node:

   >cacls Drive_name:\Fujitsu\ROR\SVROR\dhcp /T /P "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F" "BUILTIN\Administrators:F" "NT SERVICE\DHCPServer:F" <RETURN>

10. Add the DHCP Server to "Services and Applications" for the manager.

    1. Right-click [Services and Applications]-[RC-manager], and select [Add a resource]-[Other Resources]-[1 - Add a DHCP Service] from the displayed menu.

       A [New DHCP Service] will be created in the [DHCP Service] in [Summary of RC-manager].

    2. Right-click the [New DHCP Service], and select [Properties] from the popup menu.

       The [New DHCP Service Properties] window will be displayed.

    3. Change the [Resource Name] on the [General] tab, and set the paths given in the following table.

       Item	Value to Specify
       Database path	Drive_name:\Fujitsu\ROR\SVROR\dhcp\
       Monitoring file path	Drive_name:\Fujitsu\ROR\SVROR\dhcp\
       Backup path	Drive_name:\Fujitsu\ROR\SVROR\dhcp\backup\

       After making the settings, click <Apply>.

       From here, the explanation is made assuming that [Resource Name] was set as [DHCP Server].

    4. On the "Resource" of the [Dependencies] tab, select the following name, and select AND from "AND/OR".

       • Shared Disks

       • Network Name

       • Admin LAN IP Address

    5. Click <Apply>.

    6. Click <OK>.

11. Configure the registry replication settings from the following "Services and Applications" of the manager.

    Following the table in step 2., set replication of the registry of the resource.

    Perform the following procedure for each resource.

    1. Right-click the target resource on [Other Resources] on the [Summary of RC-manager] displayed in the middle of the [Failover Cluster Management] window, and select [Properties] from the displayed menu.

       The [target_resource Properties] window will be displayed.

    2. Click <Add> on the [Registry Replication] tab.

       The [Registry Key] window will be displayed.

    3. Configure the above registry key in [Root registry key].

    4. Click <OK>.

       When configuring the second registry key as well, repeat steps b. - d.

    5. After configuration of the registry keys is complete, click <Apply>.

    6. Click <OK> to close the dialog.

12. Configure the dependencies of the resources of the manager "service or application".

    Configure the dependencies of resources based on the following table.

    If some resources have been configured, select AND from [AND/OR] and add the dependent resource.

    Resource for Configuration	Dependent Resource
    PXE Services	DHCP Server

13. Restart the manager.

    Right-click [Services and Applications]-[RC-manager] on the Failover Cluster Management tree, and select [Bring this service or application online] from the displayed menu.
