This section explains installation of the manager.
Pre-Installation Preparation and Checks
Confirm the following prior to installing the manager:
Exclusive Software Checks
Check that the software listed in "1.3.2.3 Exclusive Software" and the manager of Resource Orchestrator have not been installed on the system.
Required Software Preparation and Checks
Check that the software listed in "1.3.2.2 Required Software" has been installed on the system. If it has not been installed, install it before continuing.
For ESC, perform Fibre Channel switch settings in advance.
Installation Folder and Available Disk Space Check
Decide the installation folder for Resource Orchestrator.
Note that folders on removable disks cannot be specified.
Check that there are no files or folders in the installation folder.
Check that the necessary disk space can be secured on the drive for installation.
For the amount of disk space necessary for Resource Orchestrator, refer to "1.3.2.4 Static Disk Space" and "1.3.2.5 Dynamic Disk Space".
Port Number
When Resource Orchestrator is installed, the port numbers used by it will automatically be set in the services file of the system. So usually, there is no need to pay attention to port numbers.
If the port numbers used by Resource Orchestrator are being used for other applications, a message indicating that the numbers are in use is displayed, and installation will stop.
In that case, describe the entries for the port numbers used by Resource Orchestrator in the services file using numbers not used by other software, and then start the installer. The eight port numbers are as indicated below.
Example
# service name port number/protocol name Nfdomain 23457/tcp Nfagent 23458/tcp Rcxmgr 23460/tcp Rcxweb 23461/tcp Rcxtask 23462/tcp rcxmongrel1 23463/tcp rcxmongrel2 23464/tcp rcxdb 23465/tcp |
For details on port numbers, refer to the system design and initial setup and port list sections in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide". For details on how to use NetApp storage, give permission for the following connections to operate Resource Orchestrator.
Function Overview | Source | Destination | Protocols | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Servers | Services | Ports | Modification | Servers | Services | Ports | Modification | ||
NetApp storage | Admin Server | - | Inconstant | - | Data ONTAP | - | 443 | Impossible | tcp |
User account for administrative users of Resource Orchestrator
Decide the user account name and password for administrative users of Resource Orchestrator.
For details on user accounts, refer to the notes given in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Operation Guide".
Check the admin LAN of the admin server and the status of the NIC
Decide the network (IP addresses) to be used for the admin LAN of the admin server.
Check that the NIC used for communication with the admin LAN is enabled.
For details on the admin LAN, refer to the setup preparation information in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Note
Nullifying Firewall Settings for Ports to be used by Resource Orchestrator
When installing Resource Orchestrator on systems with active firewalls, in order to enable the manager to communicate with agents correctly, disable the firewall settings for the port numbers to be used for communication.
For the port numbers used by Resource Orchestrator and required software, refer to the port number list in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" and the ESC manual.
However, when port numbers have been changed during installation of Resource Orchestrator, change the port number settings according to the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Installation
Install the manager. The installation procedure is the same as for ServerView Resource Coordinator VE.
For details on how to install the manager, refer to the information about manager installation in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Manager Cluster Operation
Managers can be operated in cluster systems with Resource Orchestrator.
The settings and deletion operations described below are required for cluster operation. For details on the settings for cluster operation and the procedure for deletion, refer to the manager cluster operation settings and deletion section in the ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide.
