After you have created the cluster database structure in HAM, you must connect to the cluster, or add its definition to the
HAM interface.
You can add a cluster definition by doing one of the following:
|
• |
Right-click the Host Access Manager item in the left pane and select Connect to Cluster.
|
|
• |
Select Connect to Cluster from the New button on the toolbar.
|
You must do this step once on every computer where you run Host Access Manager to add the cluster definition to the local
configuration and connect to it. When closing HAM, you will be prompted to save the current cluster definitions. If you select
Yes, the next time you start HAM, the cluster definitions that you added in the previous session are available for you to connect
to. You must sign on to each cluster in order to activate the connection.
After selecting to add a cluster, the Connect to Cluster window opens.
Enter the following information in the Connect to Cluster window:
|
1. |
In the Database type drop-down menu, select MS SQL Server. This is the only available option. |
|
2. |
In the Primary SQL Server IP address field, type the IP address of the database server. |
|
3. |
In the Primary SQL Server port field, type the port of the SQL server. The default value for MS SQL server is 1433 unless it is manually changed by you
to evade firewall restrictions, for example in the Servers tab. If your SQL server is using a port that is different from the default 1433, ensure to enter the correct value. |
|
4. |
Select the Use SQL server authentication radio button to use a normal user name/password for authentication on the SQL server. Type the User name and Password in the appropriate fields. |
|
5. |
In the Database name field, type the name of the cluster. |
