6.1.7 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 RC console menu, select [Settings]-[Admin LAN Subnet].

    The [Admin LAN Subnet] dialog is displayed.

  2. In the [Admin LAN Subnet], click <Add>.

    The [Register Admin LAN Subnet] dialog is displayed.

  3. In the [Add Admin LAN Subnet] dialog, set the following items.

    Subnet name

    Set the subnet name for registration.
    Enter up to 16 characters, including alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), hyphens ("-"), or periods("."). This name should start with an alphabet character.

    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 Coordinator VE to the Windows standard DHCP Server.
Resource Coordinator VE 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 "3.6 Configuring the Network Environment".

  • 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.

    In the Failover Cluster Management tree, right-click [Services and Applications]-[RC-manager], and select [Move this service or application to another node]-[1 - Move to nodenode_name].
    The name of the primary node is displayed in 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.

    • For x64 architectures

      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\

    • For x86 architectures

      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 above settings for each resource.

    1. In the [Failover Cluster Management] window, right-click the target resource in "Summary of RC-Manager"-"Other Resources", and select [Properties] from the popup menu.
      The [Target_resource Properties] window is 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. After removing the registry key, click <Apply>.

    4. Once settings are applied, 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. From the Windows Control Panel, open "Administrative Tools". Then, open the [Services] window and set the startup type of the DHCP Server to "Manual".

  7. On 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 (Destination)

    %SystemRoot%\System32\dhcp

    Drive_name:\Rcoordinator\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. Run the following command from the command prompt on the primary node.

    >cacls Drive_name:\RCoordinator\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 is displayed.

    3. Change the "Display name" on the "General" tab, and set the paths given in the following table.

      Item

      Values to set in the dialog

      Database path

      Drive_name:\Rcoordinator\dhcp

      Monitoring file path

      Drive_name:\Rcoordinator\dhcp

      Backup path

      Drive_name:\Rcoordinator\dhcp\backup\

      After making the settings, click <Apply>.

      From here the explanation is made assuming that "Display Name" was set as "DHCP Server".

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

      • Shared disk

      • Network name

      • Admin LAN (IP address)

    5. Once settings are applied, click <OK>.

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

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

    Perform the following procedure for each resource.

    1. In the [Failover Cluster Management] window, right-click the target resource in "Summary of RC-Manager"-"Other Resources", and select [Properties] from the popup menu.
      The [Target_resource Properties] window is displayed.
