The easiest way to install a new management server is to use the updateisvr command. This makes use of the heirarchical capabilities of CSM. Here we will use 2 nodes: The Executive Management Server (EMS) and the Leaf Management Server (LMS). The EMS is simply a management server of leaf management servers. First install the LMS as you would a regular node in the cluster from the EMS In this example the Leaf management server is b5 and the executive is c5bn14 From the EMS run: • chnode -n b5 InstallServer=b5:/csminstall # changes b5 into an install server • updateisvr -n b5 # this will copy the contenets of /csminstall on the EMS to the LMS Next run installms -x via dsh on the EMS or ssh to the LMS and run it there. Your new management server should now be up and running!
