Control-M/EM Windows cluster configuration

The Control-M/EM installation automatically recognizes the cluster environment and prompts you to define the Cluster group (cluster aware) or Local install (cluster non-aware). To install, see Installing Control-M/EM on Windows.

NOTE: If a previous version of Control-M/EM was uninstalled on the Windows cluster and you are attempting to install a new Control-M/EM installation on it, you must restart the resource manager or the cluster nodes.

NOTE: You must run setup_em.bat on each node. The batch script checks the version of .Net and installs MDAC2.7.

The Cluster Group installation defines the following Control-M components in the CCM with the Desired state set to Ignore and as a resource in the cluster manager in online status:

• Control-M-EM GCS (Global Condition Server)
• Control-M-EM WEB (Tomcat server)
• Control-M-EM GSR (Default GUI server)

In the Cluster Group installation, the following component are always managed by the Cluster even though these component are set to Up in the CCM:

• Control-M PostgreSQL (If installed with PostgreSQL)
• Control-M-EM NS (Naming Service)
• Control-M-EM CMS (Configuration Server)

The Cluster Group installation defines the Control-M-EM configuration agent resource in the cluster manager in online status.

The CD activation of the following Control-M add-ons define the components in the CCM with a Desired state set to Up and as a resource in the cluster manager in offline status:

• Control-M-EM BIM (Batch Impact Manager server)
• Control-M-EM Forecast
• Control-M-EM SLS (Self Service Server)
• Control-M Workload Archiving

To avoid a scenario where the Control-M-EM Configuration Agent and the cluster manager control the same component, verify the following:

• All components managed by the cluster must be set to Ignore in the CCM and in online status in cluster manager.
• All components managed by the Control-M-EM Configuration Agent must be in offline status in the cluster manager and set with a Desired state to Up or Down in the CCM.

  NOTE: Control-M/EM Distributed functions the same as a regular Control-M/EM in a cluster. The Cluster Group installation defines the Control-M-EM configuration agent resource in the cluster manager in online status.

The following procedures describe how to configure Control-M/EM in a clustered environment on Windows:

• Creating an additional Control-M/EM component as a cluster resource
• Cluster resource parameters
