Use the following steps to configure monitoring for IP 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 IP Manager to be monitored. Specify the ServerType as AM, PM or AMPM.

    Note:

    The ServerType must be selected based on the bootstrap file (--bootstrap option) used to start the IP Manager.

    The mapping is as follows:

    • AM - bootstrap-am.conf

      • PM - bootstrap-pm.conf

      • AMPM - bootstrap-am-pm.conf

        An example is provided below:

        Server
    {
   DetachInterval = 480;
   Name           = "INCHARGE-AM";
        ServerType     = "AM";
        LocationA
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-212.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1682;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/IP/smarts";
   }
        LocationB
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-213.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1682;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/IP/smarts";
   }
    }

  3. Save the failover.conf file and exit.

    Note:

    If you configure IP 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.
