TABLE OF CONTENTS The last part of this chapter looks at installing and deploying MOM 2005 in advanced environments. These environments would include clustered servers, multiple domains, beyond firewalls, and installations using the command line. As we close out this chapter we will look specifically at clusters and command line tools.
As with the previous sections of this chapter, your first step should be to make sure that the systems you are planning to use meet the minimum hardware and software requirements listed in the MOM 2005 Supported Configurations document. This document, named SuppConfig.htm, is available in the RelDocs directory on the MOM 2005 CD. It is also available online.
MOM 2005 supports the installation of the MOM database on a SQL Server cluster for failover purposes only. Only the MOM 2005 database components, the MOM 2005 agent, and the MOM 2005 Reporting database and components can be installed on a SQL Server cluster. No other components can be installed on the cluster.
If you are updating a database on a cluster, upgrade the primary, or active, node first leaving the passive node box on the setup dialog window unchecked. Then make the next node active and check the passive node box on the setup dialog window. Repeat this step for each of the remaining nodes in the cluster.
If you are deploying the MOM 2005 database on an active cluster for the first time, run the MOM 2005 database creation tool (momcreatedb.exe)...
