Cisco Cisco Prime Central 1.2 Installation Guide

 shows an example of a Prime Central cluster in an HA configuration.

Verify that your system meets all the hardware and software requirements in “Installation Requirements” in the 

Set up two nodes that have:

Static IP addresses and hostnames that are registered correctly in the DNS.

The same root password, which cannot contain a percent sign (%).

Set up one virtual IP address and hostname that are registered correctly in the DNS. In this section, the virtual IP address 
is 192.168.1.130.

Set up shared storage that is compatible with RHEL device-mapper (DM) multipath and cluster fencing.

Install RHEL 5.8 on both nodes.

If you changed the default installation folder (/opt/pc/primecentral), make the equivalent changes in the following files (look 
for the section titled “Require manual definition” in each file):

/root/ha-stuff/pc/PrimeCentral.sh

/root/ha-stuff/pc/UninstallPrimeCentral.sh

/usr/local/bin/pc.sh

To add clustering to the newly installed Red Hat server, complete the following steps in parallel on both nodes, except where 
noted:

Create local directories named /rhel and /cdrom.

Copy the .iso file that was used for the virtual machine (VM) RHCS installation to the /rhel directory.

Mount the /rhel .iso file to /cdrom:

# cd /rhel
