3.2.1 Preparing for Installation

Configuration of the target server for installation

This section explains the procedure for creating a new Managed Server and installing a Managed Server Resource Agent on the Managed Server where only the virtualization software has been installed.

To install a Managed Server Resource Agent on an existing server, perform the procedure in "Appendix C Preparations and Checks before Installation" before installing the Managed Server Resource Agent.

Setting up the firewall

To install this product on an environment where a firewall function is being used, settings need to be specified so that the firewall function allows communications via the necessary ports.

Refer to the operating system manual for information on how to set up the firewall so as to allow communications to the necessary ports. Refer to "D.1 List of Port Numbers" for information on the ports used by this product. Connections must be allowed for the port numbers that need to receive communications from external servers.

Note

The following note applies when the operating system is Windows Server 2008:

The Windows firewall function is enabled by default, and so firewall exceptions must be specified for the port numbers and protocols that are to be used.

Checking the system time

Specify settings so that the Admin Server and the Managed Servers both use the same system time.
