Adding a UNICOM Intelligence cluster server

▪Unprepared server: The Cluster Editor utilities were not used to prepare the server and UNICOM Intelligence has not been installed on the virtual or physical server.

▪Prepared server: The Cluster Editor utilities were used to prepare the server and the UNICOM Intelligence is installed on the virtual or physical server.

The following sections describe how to configure unprepared and prepared UNICOM Intelligence servers, and assume knowledge of UNICOM Intelligence and cluster installation procedures.

These are the steps for adding a server when the server was not prepared by using the Cluster Editor utility, and UNICOM Intelligence is not preinstalled.

Prepare the server from a single computer cluster that is separate to the cluster to which you are adding the computer. To avoid overwriting customized DPM settings when UNICOM Intelligence is not preinstalled, see Adding a server, when UNICOM Intelligence is not preinstalled, directly to the target cluster.

1 Manually create the server configuration file when you use the command line option (see Server Configuration utility (ServerConfig.exe)).

2 Prepare the server with the Cluster Editor utility (either UI or command line) from a separate, single computer cluster.

5 The server is now in a prepared state. Refer to the following section for instructions on adding a prepared server.

This scenario assumes that the server was prepared by using the Cluster Editor utility and that the UNICOM Intelligence software is already installed on the virtual or physical computer. See Server Configuration utility (ServerConfig.exe) and Command line Cluster Editor utility (ClusterEditor.exe) for configuration information.

The general steps for adding a server, when UNICOM Intelligence is preinstalled, are as follows.

Note A new server can be a copied from a virtual machine image. However, the virtual machine image must be configured with a unique name before it can be added to the cluster.

1 If you are adding to a different cluster, configure the server with the ServerConfig.exe utility. See Server Configuration utility (ServerConfig.exe).

2 After you update the site preparation file on the server with the ServerConfig.exe utility, use the Cluster Editor (UI or command line) to attach the server to the cluster.

The following flowchart provides a visual representation of the server process when the Cluster Editor utilities are used.
