Control-M/EM UNIX cluster configuration

The Control-M/EM UNIX installation is not cluster aware. Therefore, you need to configure the UNIX cluster manager to manage Control-M/EM components.

Before you can configure Control-M/EM in a cluster environment on UNIX, you must do the following:

• Create two user accounts, as described in Configuring a user account on UNIX.
• Set the $BMC_HOST_INSTALL environment variable to the virtual cluster hostname designated for the Control-M/EM resource group prior to installation. For information on setting variables, see Setting environment variables in UNIX.
• Install, as described in Installing Control-M/EM on UNIX.

BMC provides demo scripts that start, check, and stop Control-M/EM components. You can build your own scripts and use the provided scripts as an example or update the scripts to match your installation. After your scripts are ready, you can configure the cluster manager to use the scripts.

The following demo scripts are located at <Control-M/EM_HOME>/bin:

• demo_ha_cluster_start
• demo_ha_cluster_check
• demo_ha_cluster_stop
• demo_ha_cluster (Main script)

To get the usage, run the scripts with –help (or with no parameter).

The following procedures describe how to configure Control-M/EM in a clustered environment on UNIX using BMC provided demo scripts:

• Modifying the demo ha cluster script
• Configuring the Control-M/EM Configuration Agent as a cluster resource
• Configuring Control-M/EM kernel components as cluster resources on UNIX
• Configuring additional Control-M/EM components as cluster resources on UNIX
