How to Add a Cluster Node as a Sun Management Center Agent Host Object

Perform this procedure to create a Sun Management Center agent host object for a cluster node.

You need only one cluster node host object to use Sun Cluster module monitoring and configuration functions for the entire cluster. However, if that cluster node becomes unavailable, connection to the cluster through that host object also becomes unavailable. Then you need another cluster node host object to reconnect to the cluster.

1. From the Sun Management Center main window, select a domain from the Sun Management Center Administrative Domains pull-down list.

   This domain will contain the Sun Management Center agent host object you are creating. During Sun Management Center software installation, a Default Domain was automatically created for you. You can use this domain, select another existing domain, or create a new one.

   Refer to your Sun Management Center documentation for information about creating Sun Management Center domains.

2. Select Edit>Create an Object from the pull-down menu.

3. Select the Node tab.

4. From the Monitor via pull-down list, select Sun Management Center Agent - Host.

5. Fill in the name of the cluster node (for example, phys-schost-1) in the Node Label and Hostname text fields.

   Leave the IP text field blank. The Description text field is optional.

6. In the Port text field, type the port number you chose during Sun Management Center agent installation.

7. Click OK.

   A Sun Management Center agent host object is created in the domain.
