Adding management servers in the Global Reports perspective
To allow connections on a management server
- Navigate to the database configuration directory on the management server that you want to add to the Global Reports perspective.
On Windows
systemDrive:\ProgramData\Symantec\VRTSsfmcs\db\data
Replace systemDrive with the appropriate value.
On UNIX
/var/opt/VRTSsfmcs/db/data
- Open the
pg_hba.conf
file and add the host SFMdb3 habguest mainCMS_FQDN password line for the main VIOM CMS:# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust host SFMdb3 habguest mainCMS_FQDN password # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 trust # Allow replication connections from localhost, by # a user with the replication privilege. local replication all trust host replication all 127.0.0.1/32 trust host replication all ::1/128 trust
Note:
In the host SFMdb3 habguest mainCMS_FQDN password line:
- Single spaces must be used as separators, instead of tab characters.
- The password string is a literal string, not a variable to be replaced with a user password.
- Use management server FQDN instead of mainCMS_FQDN
- Open the postgresql.conf file and add or update the line for ports as follows:
listen_addresses = '*'
- Restart the database.
On Windows
systemDrive:\Program Files\VERITAS\VRTSsfmcs\bin\vomsc --restart db
Replace systemDrive with the appropriate value.
On UNIX
/opt/VRTSsfmcs/bin/vomsc --restart db
To work with management servers in the Global Reports perspective
- Click the Global Reports menu on the VIOM console.
- In the Global Reports perspective, you can use the Management server details tab to perform the following operations:
Click Add Management Server above the tab title. On the Add management server dialog, enter the name or the IP address of the management server and its database password.
To identify the habguest password of a management server, run the following command on that management server:
On Windows
systemDrive:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\bin\xdbadm.exe -g -u habguest -c systemDrive:\ProgramData\Symantec\VRTSsfmcs\conf
Replace systemDrive with the appropriate value.
On UNIX
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/xdbadm -g -u habguest -c /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs/conf
A new row for the corresponding management server then appears on the tab.
Note:
Ensure that you do not add multiple entries for the same management server. Otherwise, reports that retrieve data from such a management server will contain duplicate records.
To update the database password of a management server, click Edit management server details from the context menu of the corresponding row. Use the appropriate fields on the Edit management server details dialog.
To remove a management server from this perspective, click Delete management server from the context menu of the corresponding row. Provide your confirmation on the dialog box that appears. After you delete a management server, the corresponding row no longer appears on the tab.
