Re: How to implement HA architecture?

2009-12-05 Thread Martin Liu
Thanks you all!

I learned a lot from you guys. But I still got something to confirm.

What I have: 1) 4 physical machines MS Windows OS(2 for Mid-tier, 2 for
ARS); 2) One physical F5 device; 3)One Oracle RAC hosting DB for ARS. My
customer is primarily using Web client.

Q1)Can I create two farms on one single F5 device? one for Mid-tier; one for
ARS.  Does this configuration have HA capability for ARS? I mean if one ARS
server down, the whole system is still working.

Q2)Does MS cluster provide one single entry and HA function for two ARS
servers? I mean two ARS servers within one server group. If one ARS server
down, MS cluster will switch to another ARS server. And this server will
still pick up Administrative Operations, Escalation, Reconciliation, etc...
Does MS cluster service equal to a F5 device from HA point view?

I will post F5 device model that you may know.

Best regards!
Martin

2009-12-05 Thread Martin Liu
Axton,

Thank you very much!

Finial questions:

does this means F5 is the only possible HA solution for Remedy system?

If the customer don't have F5 for this project, is there any HA solution
existing?

How to configure Apache for Mid-tier(Tomcat)?

2009-12-06 Thread Martin Liu
Hi List,

http://ip_address/  http://ip_address/servicedesk  http://ip_address/arsys
are all better then http://ip_address:8080/arsys/

ITSM 7.6 is running on my Suse Enterprise Linux 10 p2 server.  I think a
nice URL is more easy to remember.

I have installed Apache 2.0 web server on this machine. I googled mod_jk
already. It seem we have to connect apache and tomcat together by mod_jk.

Is there any have a short config guide or simple configuration file?

Hi List,

My customer is going to buy a new PBX system. Currently, we are implementing

As far as I know we support Avaya and Cisco CTI. But I don't know any

May I know your CTI product name and model? Is that good? How about

Hi list,

Have you done this integration before?

I heard a web agent will works on midtier server. I'm not suer how the user
login in to system in this case.

Do you know the authentication follow?

User --> Siteminder agent --> get a token --> go to ARS server --> ARS
request to Siteminder ldap --> ?

Is this correct?

Do you have any idea how to do this?

any document?

That make more sense to me. I am just thinking how to configure that
out and don't get into trouble.

Is there anyone having that kind of configuration on production machine?

I had configured server group before. In most case, I got plugin error
after put all servers in a group.

If I don't care workfllow too much. Do servers suppose to run out side
of server on a shared DB? That's the best practice for this case?

Thanks you all!

How to translate buildin production cat and operation cat into other language?

2011-02-12 Thread Martin Liu
Hi list,

We can have a set of English exl files from DMT.  Once I had
translated production cat into Chinese, I was trying to import it. But
I got duplicate error message. Do I have to deleate or disable all of
buildin prod cat items?

As we know part of foundation data (prod/op cat etc) are not localized
language, it still in English. The user can not understand it. What do
you deal with it? I won't translate them via app admin console. Do you
guys have any good practice can help me out here?

Thanks,
Martin
