Prerequisites for OpsCenter cluster on Windows
This section contains information about the requirements that must be met before you install and configure OpsCenter in a clustered mode, on a Windows host.
Prerequisites:
Verify that VCS and OpsCenter support your hardware. For a list of supported storage devices, visit the following Web site:
Verify that the supported version of VCS is correctly installed and configured. Follow the steps in the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide.
For VCS Windows 4.2 versions, ensure that the patch is installed before installing OpsCenter. For OpsCenter, the supported VCS version starts from 4.2 RP2.
The patch is available at the following URL:
http://www.veritas.com/docs/000029739
This Technote is applicable to OpsCenter.
Verify that no VCS resource group and resource exist with the same name as that which you intend to use for OpsCenter.
The SharedDisk must be configured and accessible to all cluster nodes where you want to install OpsCenter.
Verify that you have an IP address and host name (virtual host name) to be assigned to the OpsCenter resource in VCS. Only use these for the OpsCenter resource. The virtual host name must be the short name and less than 15 characters.
Also, ping the IP address and verify that the IP address is not plumbed.
Verify that you can mount the disk.
Verify that you have the OpsCenter installation program and a valid license key.
For a Windows cluster, verify that the cluster disk groups and dynamic volumes for OpsCenter are created on the shared storage. Refer to the Veritas Storage Foundation Administrator's Guide for details.
Verify that all VCS services are up and running on all the nodes in the cluster.
Verify that OpsCenter installation is carried out with the domain admin account.
PBX is installed when you install OpsCenter Agent.
Verify that PBX on the remote host is connected.
