The following shows the setup method how a monitoring node can be automatically operated when the secondary management server is down.
This setup is only available when the management server IP address is IPv4 address.
Prepare the address used on the network
To make this setup valid, a multicast address used on the network or a broadcast address is required. It must be pre-assigned from the network administrator.
Setup the secondary management server automatic migration
Two types of settings are available:
executing a command
Refer to "7.4.1 Setup by command".
setting from the environment setup screen
Refer to "7.4.2 Setting from environment settings screen".
Access method from a client to the management server
When this setup is valid, it might not be identifiable which monitoring node is used for the secondary management server when the client accesses to the management server. In such a case, access from a client to the management server following the instructions described in "7.4.3 Access method".
Note
The monitoring node where this setup was done might be running as a secondary management server. In order to differentiate httpip ("IP address used for a client") from mip ("IP address for identifying own host"), set up httpip. Refer to "7.5 Multi-network between server and client by classified use".
