•
Configure the IP address of the database server as the network service name for master and
subordinate servers.
To use a SQL database server:
•
Install the SQL Server client on mater and subordinate servers. The client version must be the same
as the database version.
•
H3C recommends using the account LocalSystem for the SQL Server service on the database server,
so that the database superuser used for installing IMC has read and write access to all disks on the
database server. To use another account, you must grant the account read and write access to the
database file folder. For more information, see SQL Server 2005/2008/2008 R2/2012
Installation Guide.
When you configure IMC to use a remote SQL server database, follow these guidelines:
•
Create a folder to store IMC data on the SQL server. You are required to provide the folder to save
IMC data on the remote database during IMC deployment.
•
Make sure the folder path is not a Windows shortcut or Linux symbolic link. IMC checks whether or
not the folder path exists and is accessible on the database server.
Prerequisites for deploying IMC in distributed mode
•
The master and subordinate servers must use the same operating system.
•
The master and subordinate servers must have the same operating system bit size (32 or 64).
•
You can use SQL Server and MySQL databases for Windows. You can use Oracle and MySQL
databases for Linux.
•
When you use Oracle, the master and subordinate servers cannot use the same database instance
name.
To install IMC on Linux with an Oracle database, you must configure the network service name.
The following is an example of an application scenario:
When server A (master server), and servers B and C (subordinate servers) use local databases with
network service names TNSNAME_A for connecting to server A, TNSNAME_B for connecting to
server B, and TNSNAME_C for connecting to server C, respectively, you must configure the other
two unavailable network service names for each server (for example, TNSNAME_B and
TNSNAME_C for server A).
For more information about network service name configuration, see Oracle 11g Installation and
Configuration Guide (for Linux).
•
To deploy IMC Platform subcomponents and service components on the master server or a
subordinate server, you must first install them on the master server.
For more information about IMC Platform subcomponents, see "
3 Installing and deploying the IMC
." The service components required to be deployed on the master server vary with the
services you want IMC to offer. For more information, see "
4 Installing and deploying IMC service
."
•
The following components must be deployed on the master server:

NE Management
{
Common Search Service Management
{
Report Management
