Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an
HA MSCS Environment - Part 3: HA Primary Server
Revised January 02, 2009
Although this document discusses Service Desk the same procedures can be followed for installing CMDB either in Standalone mode or
Combined with Service Desk.

Agenda
- This presentation details the installation of a Unicenter Service Desk (USD) Primary Server and Remote Components in an MSCS environment. It includes the following topics:
- Installing non-HA eIAM without MDB
- Installing HA Primary Server
- Customization
- Primary Server Failover Test
- MDB Failover Test
- Installing non-HA Secondary Server
- Note that installation of HA Remote Components is covered in Part I of this presentation series

Support Considerations
- USD does not currently provide support for High Availability architectures, however, the following best practices demonstrate how a degree of High Availability can be achieved when implemented with assistance from your local CA Technical Services (CATS) team.
- The failover process is not entirely automatic. If the MDB fails over to another cluster node, active clients will need to re-login to USD.
- Additional questions regarding these guidelines can be directed to [email protected] and every effort will be made to respond as quickly as possible.”

Setup
- HA SQL MDB is created on the same cluster
- Primary Server will be installed on same cluster but in a different Cluster Resource Group
- This procedure can also be adapted to install HA Primary Server and HA MDB on two different clusters

Identify Resource Group
- Identify cluster group where the Primary Server will be installed
- Should be different from the SQL Cluster Group in order to allow Primary Server and MDB to be active on different cluster nodes. Running Primary Server on one cluster node and the MDB on different cluster node provides additional scalability
- Cluster group where USD is to be installed must have “Network Name” resource type defined
![Page 12: Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an HA MSCS Environment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033102/5681403d550346895dabad83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Verify Shared Disk
- Verify the shared disk on which the USD folder will be installed has adequate free space (approx. 2GB)
- This estimate does not include the MDB since it will be installed on a different shared disk
![Page 13: Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an HA MSCS Environment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033102/5681403d550346895dabad83/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Cluster Setup- The following example shows two cluster groups:
- 1 with SQL instance “SQLINSTA” installed
- 1 with “Network Name” cluster resource type
- So, for this setup
- MDB will be installed in Group SQL
- Primary Server will be installed in Group USD_r11.x

USD r11.2 Install Caveat- USD r11.2 install process includes a check to determine if the pm.xml and
wl.xml files already exist in the CATALINA_BASE\webapps folder- If they are not detected, the install copies the epdc.jar file from the CATALINA
_BASE\common\lib to the tomcat\4.1.31\common\lib directory in Shared Components.
- OK for first node on cluster - On subsequent nodes, because the install detects the files, an upgrade is
performed instead- Since the epdc.jar file copy step is not included in an upgrade, the
following error will be generated.
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.ca.common.EncodedPwDriver‘
- To avoid this, manually copy epdc.jar to the Shared Components\tom cat\4.1.31\common\lib before starting the service on subsequent cluster nodes
- This only applies to USD r11.2 - it does not affect r11.1.

eIAM and MDB
- eIAM provides option to store global users and global groups internally in the MDB
- The install process described in this section does not create an MDB on the eIAM server, so this option cannot be used. If the global users must be stored in the MDB, then install USD Remote Component on the eIAM server. This will create MDB and install eIAM as well.
- Option to reference global users and groups from an external directory (such as Active Directory) does not require MDB and will work fine
![Page 31: Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an HA MSCS Environment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033102/5681403d550346895dabad83/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

HA eIAM
- If eIAM is placed on separate server, it generates approximately 6KB of network traffic between eIAM server and Primary Server for each web client user authentication
- If you wish to install eIAM on the same server as Primary Server, then review Part 4 of this presentation series
![Page 34: Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an HA MSCS Environment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033102/5681403d550346895dabad83/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

HA MDB
- Review “Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an HA MSCS Environment: Part 1”- In that presentation, Remote Components are installed on all cluster nodes (which is true if the Primary Server is installed in a different server or cluster)
- In this case, Primary Server is installed on the same Cluster. Thus, there is no requirement to install Remote Components without eIAM on all Cluster Nodes.
![Page 37: Best Practices for Implementing Unicenter Service Desk r11.x in an HA MSCS Environment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033102/5681403d550346895dabad83/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Before starting the installation on nodeA, create a SQL alias as “Name:<nodeA>, Server:<virtual SQL server>” and run the USD/CMDB remote components to get the MDB in
Now delete the previously created alias and create a new alias as “Name:<clustername>, Server:<clustername\virtual SQL server>”

Stop Services
- Stop Unicenter Service Desk
- Make backup copy of \Program Files\CA\Unicenter Service Desk\NX.env. This file will be updated when USD is installed on NodeB.
- This copy should not be needed again. It is simply a backup as some of the options, such as @NX_DUMMY,@NX_EIAM_CERT_PASSWORD, @NX_CAWF_PASSWORD, will be updated by the install process on subsequent nodes

Configuration
- Any further Primary Server Configuration requires the service to be stopped and restarted.
- If special care is not taken, the Primary Server will move from one node to another
- Thus, prior to Configuration, change the Cluster Resource to “offline”
- In most cases, Configuration should not be required on all cluster nodes – only the active node should suffice. However, there may some changes, such as passwords, that require configuration to be run on all cluster nodes
