Use the following steps to configure monitoring for Server Manager on the Failover Manager:

  1. From the installation directory of Failover Manager (BASEDIR/smarts/bin), open the failover.conf file. Type:

                   ./sm_edit conf/failover/failover.conf
                
  2. Under the Server section, add an entry for the Server Manager to be monitored. Specify the ServerType as ESM.

    Example:

    Server
        {
      DetachInterval = 300;
      Name           = "INCHARGE-ESM";
            ServerType     = "ESM";
       DetachInterval = 300;
            LocationA
            {
                HostName   = "itops-tco-212.lss.emc.com";
                PortNumber = 2640;
                Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/ESM/smarts";
       }
            LocationB
            {
                HostName   = "itops-tco-213.lss.emc.com";
                PortNumber = 2640;
                Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/ESM/smarts";
       }
        }
    
  3. Save the failover.conf file and exit.

    Note:

    If you configure Server Manager for failover while the Failover Manager is already running, use the ic-failover-server script reload option to reload the failover.conf file and use the Reconfigure button in the Domain Manager Administration Console to reconfigure the Failover Manager.
