4. If enabling HTTPS during installation, use a certificate issued to tms.example.com.
5. After the server has rebooted, log in to the Cisco TMS web application to verify that it works correctly.
Installing Cisco TMS on tms02
1. Check that the operating system including service pack level on tms02 is exactly the same as on tms01.
2. Check that both servers are configured with the same time zone.
3. Install Cisco TMS using the same external database server and installation directory as when setting up
tms01. Install the same version of Cisco TMS.
4. If HTTPS was enabled during installation on tms01, use the same certificate used on tms01.
5. After the server has rebooted, log in to the Cisco TMS web application to verify that it works correctly.

l
Event Notification >
SNMP Traphost IP Address
l
Advanced Network Settings for Systems on Internal LAN: all fields
l
Advanced Network Settings for Systems on Public Internet/Behind Firewall
On both nodes:
1. Go to
Control Panel
on the Windows server.
2. In
Network Settings
change the default gateway to be the NLB’s IP address.
3. Verify that the Cisco TMS servers can reach the managed systems and vice versa.
Synchronizing local files
Some customizable files used by Cisco TMS are stored in the Windows server's local file system rather than
in the tmsng database. The folders these files are stored in must be kept synchronized between the two
nodes. See
in the tmsng database. The folders these files are stored in must be kept synchronized between the two
nodes. See
for a full list of the folders that must be
synchronized.
Use your preferred method of synchronizing the folders; for example you could create a shell script that uses
xcopy/robocopy to copy files between the two nodes.
