Configuring Tivoli Directory Server with peer-to-peer replication and System Automation for Multiplatforms

You can configure Tivoli® Directory Server with System Automation for Multiplatforms to provide high availability in hot standby mode.

About this task

If you do not configure a Tivoli Directory Server proxy server, you can assign a service IP to the active node and configure the application server to access the service IP. You can use cluster management software, such as IBM® Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms to handle the assignment of the service IP to the active node.

Procedure

  1. Install System Automation for Multiplatforms on all nodes.
  2. Download and install the System Automation for Multiplatforms policy.
  3. Install Tivoli Directory Server on the directory server systems and configure peer-to-peer replication.
  4. From the /usr/sbin/rsct/sapolicies/itds directory, open the ITSAMP-ITDS.pdf document.
  5. From the ITSAMP-ITDS.pdf document, see Scenario 3 and follow the instructions to configure the policy.
  6. To mask the directory server failover from the application server, configure the application server security to point to the Service IP for Tivoli Directory Server.
