Setting the High Availability Variables in the ov.conf File

The NNMi High Availability (HA) resource group uses the following variables to access the shared disk:

  • HA_POSTGRES_DIR=<HA_mount_point>/NNM/dataDir/shared/nnm/databases/Postgres
  • HA_EVENTDB_DIR=<HA_mount_point>/NNM/dataDir/shared/nnm/eventdb
  • HA_NNM_LOG_DIR=<HA_mount_point>/NNM/dataDir/log
  • HA_JBOSS_DATA_DIR=<HA_mount_point>/NNM/dataDir/nmsas/NNM/data
  • HA_MOUNT_POINT=<HA_mount_point>
  • HA_CUSTOMPOLLER_DIR=<HA_mount_point>/NNM/dataDir/shared/nnm/databases/custompoller

Tip If you plan to run any NNM iSPIs in the NNMi HA resource group, also set the ov.conf variables for each of those NNM iSPIs. For more information, see the documentation for the appropriate NNM iSPI.

To set the product variables for accessing the shared disk in the ov.conf file, run the following command for each of the preceding variables:

  • Windows:

    %NnmInstallDir%\misc\nnm\ha\nnmhaclusterinfo.ovpl –config NNM –set <variable> <value>
  • Linux:

    $NnmInstallDir/misc/nnm/ha/nnmhaclusterinfo.ovpl –config NNM –set <variable> <value>

Note When making file changes under High Availability (HA), you must make the changes on both nodes in the cluster. If the change requires you to stop and restart the NNMi management server, you must put the nodes in maintenance mode before running the ovstop and ovstart commands. See Maintenance Mode for more information.
