Managing Multiple SunFires on an agent system.
Greetings,
In a previous lifetime, I managed one 6800 from the SunMC server, but now, I am trying to manage multiple 6800's from an agent system. To give you an idea, I have the SunMC server that can communicate with a SunMC agent system that has a private network to the system controllers. If I add one Sunfire, I am able to look at it on the SunMC console. However, when I go through the drama of adding multiple system controllers on the agent system, things go pear shaped. I do an es-platform -a system controller a, b, c ,etc, etc. I then do the es-setup.sh -I a, b, c (in the right directory) , then do the es-start -y a, b, c, etc. etc..
When I add the platform to the SunMC server, I don't get a SunFire, I get a simple node. I cant see the platform components (Domains, etc).
I have read the doco but it lacks clear guidelines on how to do this at an agent level. Obviously, if I could attach straight to the system controllers from the SunMC management system, I doubt I would have these problems. Also at the agent level, it seems to lack some abilities, such as DR I think..
Should I keep mucking about with this agent idea or convince our network people to let me change the network so I have direct access to the system controllers from the SunMC server and to hell with those agents.
Or have I simply done something stupid?
Regards
Stephen
