SAP Host Agent in MSCS environment

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we have an NW 70 SR3 enterprise portal installed on a Windows 2003 Server cluster, as shown in the installation guide only the Oracle db and the SCS are in the shared disks, while every node has its own application instance.

Now we want to install the Diagnostic Agent for Root Cause Analisys, but it requires the Host Agent.

What is the correct installation procedure? We must include the Host Agent in the cluster services, or we have to install an agent for each node?

We must use the virtual host name or the real host name of each node?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You will need to install a Diagnostics Agent on each server (virtual

hostname) to be managed. Please note that in case the SAP or Third Party

Systems - to be managed - have been setup using virtual hostnames, it

is essential to install one Diagnostics Agent instance per virtual

hostname.

Thanks John,

i've tried the installation following your suggestion but it fails, it seems to have problems with the database resource group of the cluster (labeled disk G), this is part of the sapinst_dev.log (same error on both nodes):

Searching in the forum wasn't helpful, any idea?
