Embed SAP MaxDB in MSCS

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are working on setting up Content Server on HA(as per my knowledge HA for Content server in not available). Here we are installing MAXDB(software- local disks and DB-shared disks) on node 1 and only maxdb software executables on node2, trying to achieve HA for MAXDB ...

HowTo - Embed SAP MaxDB in MSCS - MaxDB - SCN Wiki

I am following above link along with many other sap notes

1726396 - Integration of SAP MaxDB/liveCache 7.8/7.9 into MSCS

1727123 - FAQ SAP MaxDB/liveCache Isolated Software

1694323 - FAQ: SAP MaxDB remote SQL server and DBM server

I am struck at registering MAXDB in cluster manager

1. Creating the MaxDB cluster group using the following command in the cmd window:
   %WINDOWS%\Cluster\sapdbmscsman -C
   The "SAP DBTech" group appears in the Microsoft Cluster Management Console.

I executed the command "sapdbmscsman -C"  as per the wiki, the maxdb group should appear in the Microsoft Cluster Management Console-MCMC(I don't see any in my MCMC)

     2. Adding the network resource to the MaxDB cluster group:

set network="external LAN connection"

set ipaddress=<virtual IP address for DB host>

set netmask=<netmask>

%WINDOWS%\Cluster\sapdbmscsman -B "%network%,%ipaddress%,%netmask%,Disk D:"

Should I run the set commands or can i directly execute "sapdbmscsman -B "%network%,%ipaddress%,%netmask%,Disk D:"

Any suggestions?

Looks like I am OK with step 1 now, can someone throw some light on this step 2 mentioned above.

Below is the error I get.
