Cisco Cisco Prime Access Registrar Jumpstart 6.0 Guide De Montage

Configuring Prime Access Registrar to Automatically Power Up

There are several layers of processing involved in running the Prime Access Registrar application. Each layer has choices it can
make about what to do when it is first powered up after power failures.

You can configure Prime Access Registrar to start automatically when power is restored to the Jumpstart.

The two places where you have to change the configurations to make this possible are:

•

UCS Hardware—The UCS hardware has to be configured to power up the ESXi hypervisor when power is restored.

•

ESXi Hypervisor—The ESXi hypervisor has to be configured to power up the Prime Access Registrar virtual appliance when
power is restored to the ESXi hypervisor layer.

To configure the UCS Hardware to automatically power up the ESXi hypervisor:

Step 1

Connect a browser to the CIMC UCS Management Console, and log into the console.

Step 2

In the Server tab on the left pane, select the Power Policies link.

Step 3

Select Power On from the Power Restore Policy drop-down list in the Power Restore Policy area in the right pane.

If you want, you can enter a delay value in the Power Delay Value field.

Step 4

Click Save Changes to save the updates.

Configuring Virtual Appliance to Automatically Power Up

You can configure Prime Access Registrar to start automatically when power is restored to the Jumpstart.

The two places where you have to change the configurations to make this possible are:

•

UCS Hardware—The UCS hardware has to be configured to power up the ESXi hypervisor when power is restored.

•

ESXi Hypervisor—The ESXi hypervisor has to be configured to power up the Prime Access Registrar virtual appliance when
power is restored to the ESXi hypervisor layer.

To configure the automatic power up:

Step 1

In the vSphere client, select the ESXi machine to which you are connected. It is not a specific virtual machine that you
have to select but the ESXi hypervisor on which they reside.

Step 2

Select the Configuration tab.

Step 3

Click the Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown link under the Software area. You should see the virtual machine in the
list shown in window.

Step 4

Click the Properties... link present at the top right corner of the page. If you do not see that, resize the window until
you do.

The Virtual Machine Startup and Shutdown page is displayed.

Step 5

Check the Allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system check box.

Step 6

Select the virtual machine running the Prime Access Registrar virtual appliance and use the Move Up button on the
right to move it up into the group labelled Automatic Startup.

Step 7

Click OK.

This ensures that whenever power is restored to the ESXi hypervisor the Prime Access Registrar appliance powers up
automatically.
